I had a problem finding a CEEB code for my parents universities' since they attended school out of the country and I ended up submitting my common app at 12:01. To be completely blunt, am I totally and completely screwed? I submitted all my supplements/payments/scores before the deadline but it was my common app that was late...My friend says I'm okay because I could have been having "internet" problems but I have a very bad feeling about this...
lol im sure most universites would be fair-minded enough to let you have that extra few minutes.
Really? You think so? I mean it was 12:01, but it appeared on all my colleges as submitting it on january 2nd...so I don't know if they see the time or they just see the date. I mean obviously, I'm going to call all of them. But if they just see the date and thus don't consider me for application, I..wow, haha. I'm screwed.
I will never ever procrastinate again, obviously.
just wait a day and see if they have downloaded it or not
or yes you can always call them if you feel the need
but i'm not sure if they'll be around. they usually have short holiday breaks.
good luck
hey do you think time difference would be a problem?
Cause i'm staying in west coast, in my schools are in east coast, so what if i submit it at Jan 1 10pm west coast time, it would be 1am Jan 2nd east coast time
I'm not sure about all the universities but one of the unis i sent my application to said that they accept application until it is the end of 1/1 all around the world. Not really sure about your university though, you have to check it
i'm sending it from korea so east coast is 14 hrs behind me.
It really depends on the school. Check the admission FAQ page to see if the school addresses that question. I know Stanford does. If not, you can always email them and ask.
I'm guessing that slightly late application essays are common enough that most universities are prepared to be at least somewhat forgiving.
Submission Question!!!! - Important
I submitted my application and supplement yesterday (12-31-10) but commonapp says it was submitted TODAY (1-1-11)!!! It hasn't been downloaded yet either. Am I screwed?
