<p>OMG I have never been happier than this, because I missed the deadline I could not apply to NU even if all my recommendations and trascripts were already submitted. But today I got an email saying the deadline has been extended till next tueseday which is the 10th of December. Thank God :)</p>
<p>why was the deadline extended.....no offense...but I find that kind of stupid...i worked my ass off to get my app in on time</p>
<p>I know, right? I applied to UVA and didn't expect that the deadline would be extended. I nearly died trying to finish that app.</p>
<p>AGH. More competition.</p>
<p>I've been hearing about a lot of schools that have deadlines extended. So far, I've heard UVA, NU, USC, and Cornell all extended theirs...and I haven't been looking to find out which have been extended. These are e-mails I've received. It's really annoying that they tell you it is extended AFTER the deadline. The people that really want to go to the school make the effort to make the deadline so they don't get the benefit of having extra time. I've been working on my apps since summer and made sure everything was submitted on time. I don't really find it fair that people can apply to the school after the fact. You would think the school wouldn't want people who didn't apply ontime at their school....</p>
<p>do you mean 10th of january???</p>
<p>Any ideas as to why NU (and a handful of other schools) extended its deadline? Do they do this every year?</p>
