"The Box" Submission date Help!?

So i submitted “the box” on the 31st of december. However, when I look at my Rice portal, it says January 9th for the date in the date column. This is, of course, past the deadline. Is this a problem?

Call the admissions office If you are worried. The date on the Rice portal might just reflect when it was downloaded from the server. I imagine Rice had a flood of materials arrive around the deadline.

Thank you so much for responding! I am curious, however, for the other people here who applied. what does it say on your portal for the box?

I submitted my box for RD on 12/18, and it was downloaded 12/20. I don’t think this disqualifies your box or anything unless you were the absolutely first application they looked at, which doesn’t seem likely.
