just get it in before the peach falls



… If you live in Georgia. I’d say you’re safe if you get it in before 2009 in your local time zone. But internet service can go down… common app’s servers can go down due to heavy traffic (if lots of people are trying to meet a deadline), so plan ahead (er…in retrospect) and submit ASAP.

If for whatever reason you can’t submit it by the deadline, contact the college immediately (or as soon as they got off break), explain your extenuating circumstance. Most colleges are understanding about this. At the very least, pay the application fee before, if you can.
