<p>Scottj, well said about some professors (including myself) who won’t accept late assignments. Everyone else in the class did it on time, after all. Further, if your boss wants something before a 10:00 meeting on Wednesday and you tell him/her you can’t get it done until Thursday, your job security might take a hit.</p>
<p>Folks, if you really want to apply somewhere, why on earth don’t you do it a day or two early? College isn’t high school.</p>
