Well, it's certainly not good. How bad it is depends largely on what your numbers are and what schools you're applying to. So, what are your numbers and what schools are you applying to?

Strange that myLSN.info lists submitting an application to Yale late as -10 points...

Looks like it. In North's defense, I could have written that a bit clearer.B90 wrote:Someone's sarcasm detector is broken.North wrote:Huh?PRgradBYU wrote:Strange that myLSN.info lists submitting an application to Yale late as -10 points...

Got me dinged at a school I should have been safe at (Cornell, 3.4/170, lived 40 minutes away and was a yield lock). Applied literally 5min before the deadline. Thank goodness for small miracles lol.

Well, more like 50% admit 40% WL, tbf. I can't imagine I would have been straight dinged if I applied earlier.TripTrip wrote:....3.4/170 is safe at Cornell?bluepenguin wrote:Got me dinged at a school I should have been safe at (Cornell, 3.4/170, lived 40 minutes away and was a yield lock).

That I didn't end up going to Cornell. Maybe I misused the expression (is it "blessings"?). I meant thank goodness I didn't pay a ton of money to go to Cornell, not that it was remarkable that I didn't get in.boblawlob wrote:What is the small miracle?

I'm still not seeing the "safe." I don't think your late app made too much of a difference.bluepenguin wrote:Well, more like 50% admit 40% WL, tbf.
