<p>I don’t blame Stanford for disregarding any applications that were even a few seconds late because it means that the student waited until the last possible second (literally!) to submit his or her application. I wouldn’t want that type of student at my school. If it’s important, you find a way to get it in well before the deadline, or at the very least, a day or two ahead…simple as that.</p>
<p>what happens if your supplement was submitted before the deadline, but the application was submitted after? does it still count as late?</p>
<p>Enrique, I’m not sure if your application would be counted or not, but I can tell you that for all of those colleges except for Northwestern (I’m not sure about their time zone), you turned in your application 40 minutes after midnight (or I assume, the deadline).</p>
<p>what happens if your supplement was submitted before the deadline, but the application was submitted after? does it still count as late?</p>
<p>It’s one thing for a college to set an application deadline, and then to start reviewing those applications soon (within hours) after that. But it’s so completely pointless to set a deadline when nobody is going to be in the admissions office anyway! If the admissions committee at Stanford (or any school, for that matter) starts back this next Monday, set the deadline for Sunday. It’s common sense; there’s no benefit to anyone (applicants or committees) in making the deadline the 1st if they won’t be reviewed until the 4th (or whenever, if there’s more than a day in between).</p>

<p>Regardless of whether Stanford’s application deadline should be the 1st or the 2nd or the 3rd, it’s been known for months and there’s no excuse for getting it in late. You should ALWAYS know to give yourself at least a day’s worth of leeway in case of technical problems.</p>
<p>holy crap, secret asian man. you’ve been on for a long while…</p>
<p>I’m a bit worried now, why is there still a red downward arrow on my payment for the UChig CommonApp? It already says submitted, it’s just the graphic that’s slightly perturbing.</p>
<p>@dgmartins: Its submitted. The graphic just usually stays on there for a little while afterwards most of the time. </p>
<p>I agree with Secret Asian Man. No offense, by why did everyone wait this long to have their applications submitted? Exspecially since we all had the winter holiday to finish up our essays, send scores and etc. Regardless, good luck with those last minute apps!</p>
<p>dgtmartine, my payment arrow was red too until the school downloaded my apps. If your other things haven’t been downloaded yet I’m sure there’s no problem.</p>
<p>anyone know about duke’s policy? i submitted the common app before the deadline, but got the supplement in some time after. i hope they’re not like stanford…i was just about freaking out with theirs.</p>
<p>yeah yeah we all procrastinate and should be spanked for it. thing is, i don’t have all summer break or winter break and certainly not the school year to work on these. i have to work every single day, so that doesn’t leave me with hours on end of free time. some of us have special circumstances, so please don’t chastise us for something we don’t have much control over. and we’ve all been grilled with the lateness/procrastination speech since we’ve known what they even mean, so yes, just leave us to whine amongst ourselves.</p>
<p>anyone know Princeton’s policy?</p>
<p>and i agree with the poster above. I have part-time work, tutoring, EC and I am a caregiver for a parent. It’s not like I wanted this stress.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to Stanford, thank you very much; and for the record, I was generally referring to all schools. But I can sympathize with people who submitted their apps late and didn’t even have them considered, while the admissions committees were still sitting around a fire eating turkey and ham!</p>
<p>Also, I would like to add that I agree; a deadline is a deadline, and I can understand why Stanford (and other colleges) are firm about not accepting late applications. I’m just pointing out that choosing the 1st, as opposed to the 4th, when most committees will be returning to actually review applications, is pointless.</p>
<p>what happens if your supplement was submitted before the deadline, but the application was submitted after? does it count as late?</p>
<p>If it says an application has been downloaded by the university on the Common App, does that mean they will consider it? Because I was locked out of Yale’s application and turned it in a few minutes late. If not, I suppose that’s okay since I’m applying to 15 other colleges…</p>

<p>No need to repost the same question 20 times. If no one’s answered, it’s because nobody knows. </p>

<p>If you’re talking about his post count, then you must be pretty sheltered in terms of forums. >:]</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think it depends on the college. I know that on the Common App, Harvard had a specific deadline for the supplement but not the application…</p>
<p>
I’m on the same boat here, lol. Stupid parent information form kept on forcing me to find a CEEB code which doesn’t exist >:(</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, I had that problem as well! Then I read the directions and realized I just had to click ‘Not Found’. I’m an idiot, I know.</p>
