Supplement late?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University

Hi everyone,

So it was my first time using the Commonapp with a college with a writing supplement, and I didn’t realize that we had to submit the supplement after doing the application. I submitted my Commonapp about an hour ago (my deadline is in 15 mins) so I thought I was fine. The payment went through and I got the confirmation, but Commonapp hasn’t updated just yet. Anyway with my EA colleges it confirmed 2 days after the early deadline so I thought it’s fine if it doesn’t update for a few days.

But I just realized that I have to wait for the Commonapp to go through before I submit the supplement, and now I’m currently crapping myself because I don’t think it’ll go through in time for 11:59PM.

Please could someone give me good news? :’/ Will Princeton accept my supplement if I submit it as soon as the Commonapp goes through, if that happens to be after the deadline?

Ugh I feel terrible! What have I done!! :frowning:

You do not need to wait for the Common App section to go through before submitting your writing supplement. Strangely enough, they are separate from each other. Once you have completed the writing supplement section, it will allow you to submit it – so there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to do so now.
