A Late Applicant's Puzzlement

I submitted late applications to many schools (which included some ivy league, similarly top-tiered schools) and have since received confirmation e-mails from some of them, along with id codes and the like. Additionally, common app has cited all of my late applications to universities/colleges as having been downloaded. While I understand the amount of irresponsibility that late applications convey, I still would like to beg that cc users answer my question: do downloaded applications/confirmation e-mails confirm that applications, regardless of a “late” status," have been put into their applicant pool for consideration? Furthermore, are applications downloaded by the university’s system automatically, meaning download date/time stamps have no bearing on whether or not the application has been accepted for their consideration? If any more specific information is needed to adequately answer my question(s), I would be more than grateful enough to answer them. Thank you for your time.
