Will turning in my application at the last minute severely hurt my chances?

Applying to College

<p>I have been freaking out because I'm the type of student that likes to get things done early. I'm rather annoyed because the guidance counselor that I paid ultimately has caused me to turn my app stuff in at the last minute. Anyway, unfortunate issues aside, will this severely hurt my chances? </p>

<p>I am applying to UCLA, Berkeley, UCSB, UCSD, Davis, USC (merit scholarship), Colorado Boulder, University of Oregon, University of Washington </p>

<p><em>all of which are due by December 1st and I will only have them submitted 3-5 days in advance</em></p>

<p>Also, I'm freaking out because I haven't heard back from my guidance counselor about the letter of rec. </p>

<p>SAT: 2150 (best score from each category- took SAT twice) 2070 (best in one sitting)
GPA: 4.25 (10-12 weighted) 3.87 (unweighted)
Volunteer: about 400 hours (created club)
Activities: member of NHS, CSF, ski team, dance classes, orchestra, lions heart, ect</p>

<p>THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Sorry, I'm like freaking out and stressed out of my mind...</p>

<p>Schools spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get many applications. If you turn your app in somewhat late it won’t hurt you. Are you kidding ? They’ll still be ecstatic. They are looking for a reason to admit you. Got it?</p>
