<p>My other submissions were not too remarkable, so we’ll go with these.</p>

<p>St. Olaf: a few minutes before midnight. Three? Five? I am not sure. I spent the hours before in a frenzy to polish my resume.</p>

<p>Marlboro: after the extreme stress of finishing applications elsewhere and attempting to correct my group’s miserable, miserable work on our independent research project in foreign relations (seriously, where did these people come from? How is it possible that I can say more in a paragraph than they can in two pages? Is it just me or do the majority of students completely lack writing or research skills?), I, uh… I didn’t finish it. At all. There was only the one half of the Common App submitted a month or so before. And I felt very, very guilty.</p>

<p>Both ended up accepting me. Yes, Marlboro too. Insert stupid happy emoticon here.</p>

<p>penn: 30 mins
harvard: 6 hrs
stanford: looked at app 5 hrs before deadline, realized i was screwed, so didnt apply</p>

<p>Gw- Around 25 seconds
Common app would not let me submit…I had to go all out and fill out GW’s own app in 30 minutes. Awesome.</p>

<p>Hey guys I heard the closer you are to being late, but on time the the better chances you have. Like if you submit it 1 second before it’s like you have twice the better chance of getting in, no lies i swear!</p>
