<p>Are you applying to schools with a deadline of January 2nd?</p>
<p>Because mine were due January first, and because I submitted after midnight east coast time, they were marked for Jan 2nd.</p>
<p>Its not good to have it show up late (unnecessary stress) but my application was still accepted by every college, I believe they have some sort of grace period.
I do not know if the common app website will lock you out and not let you submit, but i dont think so.</p>
