<p>My dad suggests me to submit my application+essays more than 10 days from the deadline. I was wondering how many of you procrastinate as much as I do.
Submitting it later won't affect our admission chances will it? I know it's gonna affect our scholarship chances though. :(</p>
<p>I probably will submit within 5 days. maybe less</p>
<p>I’m hoping to submit 1 or 2 days before…
Still have to start essays for Stanford, Yale, Brown, Pomona, and Uni of Chicago. </p>
<p>Procrastination to the MAX</p>
<p>Many colleges look at applications in the order they come… I’ve always wondered if they’ve ever accepted everyone they could by the time they reach the last ~1000 applications… Blah.</p>
<p>omg i just turned in my application for UT and the 15 is the deadline. Will the school receive my application on time before the deadline!? On applytexas.org it says that it takes 2 working days usually for them to send the application. ■■■■! But on the contrary, a couple other schools I’ve applied to on applytexas.org got my applications within a day. WHAT DO YOU THINK!?!?!?!?! OMG!! LOL.</p>
<p>I think you’ll be fine. The submission day is the one that matters. I think. good luck!</p>
<p>I don’t think that will hurt you. But submitting it earlier CAN help in some ways, especially for priority or scholarship consideration. And…you never know what evils lie in wait for you (a DSL that isn’t working, your discovery after sending part I at midnight on the deadline that there is a part II, the need to have additional forms received by the deadline…that you didn’t know about/request from your school or recommenders, pieces of information that you can’t access at midnight such as the graduation year and unmarried name of a grandparent/legacy, etc. ).</p>
<p>I might do it on 15th, since it is the “recommended” deadline</p>
<p>My mom’s close friend is an admissions interviewer at Tufts (not the highest authority at all but she obviously knows some people on the actual committee as a result) and she told me that as they get applications they put some in a ‘yes’ pile, some in a ‘maybe’ pile, and some in a ‘no’ pile. If the ‘yes’ pile gets filled (max capacity of incoming class is reached) then the ‘maybe’ pile and everyone else left gets thrown out. This seems like it would highly disadvantage those who applied later on and I’m not entirely sure she has accurate information…maybe it was a clever ruse to make sure I apply on time. I’m sort of hoping it isn’t true as I also haven’t submitted my applications yet. >.< Can anyone with more definite information admissions-wise shed some light on this?</p>
<p>haha, so far 2/3 apps ive submitted were turned in the day before deadline. thank god its break, now i have some time to work on the rest! =]</p>
