AsatarWhy would you submit it late? That shows poor time management and personally I would throw your application in the bin. You've had how many months to prepare it?

lol

 

Asatar: With all due respect, I wasn't asking what you would personally do. I also don't need you to lecture me on the importance of time management, rest assured that I have good time management skills and know the importance thereof. I was under extenuating circumstances. Anyway, thanks for trying to help!

I really thought we had hit the absolute peak of douchebaggery here on WSO, but then you came along and set a new record. Congrats!

Now die in a fire.

Hi everybody,

@Yeti: I guess your case should be fine....

I have just submitted 2 hours late due to unstable internet connection in Vietnam and I have to run from home to my office to submit... I have sent an explanation email but i am really panic now Do you think my application will get reviewed for round 2? :-

 

Hey nhychip, I just got an e-mail from HBS that my application will be considered for the second round even though I didn't e-mail/call them. I am sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you too get considered for the second round. Best of luck!

 

From user gringomex on GMATClub:

"Talked to HBS this morning and they said there was a 48 hour window for recommenders to submit. Hope that helps!"

Taken from the 8/20/12 post on the "From the Director" blog:

September 24 - Application deadline. 12 noon. There's no official "early bird special" or reason to submit earlier than the deadline, as in we're not reading applications now and our process isn't "rolling". However, the server will get backed up on the morning of the deadline and that will cause you stress. Although I hate to advertise this, we don't actually turn off the system exactly at noon - if you're in the process of submitting around that time, we will include you in that round.
Also, from an email exchange I had with her, recommendations can arrive about two days late but no more than that.

Good luck, fellas!

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
