Did you wait till the last minute to submit your applications?

[anxious_101]

Perhaps not surprisingly, most of my guy friends submitted the day of, while my female friends submitted the day before or earlier. Hmmm.

 

I submitted my OMSAS app the morning of the due date. It was due at 4:30pm on the dot.

Day before, since online systems have a history of getting overburdened at the last minute...

[shikimate]

2 days before? I submitted OMSAS like a week before it was due. It felt good to get it out of the way before midterms. Otherwise you are constantly thinking about it and can't focus on studying instead.

I submitted quite a few days before the deadline. I don't like waiting until the last minute because I worry something will go wrong.

1 week before I think? and then i kept logging back in to make sure it was all there. lol. premed paranoia

[quackster]

the day of. I shouldn't dare mention I started writing my essay two days before the deadline. I'm a bad example. People, don't do this!!

for one school, the last 3 minutes ^agreed^, i'd urge you not to submit in the last hour, servers crash, LOL.

A few days before as my school's servers are pretty notorious at crashing at just the *right* time.

The Question now applies for UBC applicants.

[kylamonkey]

I just voted on this poll instead of working on UBC which is due in 19 hours and is still not done.

 

female, BTW, but somewhat male in spirit.

Im a last minute type of person and I submitted a day before but I regret it! I still want to go triple check but scared to do so due to finding errors!

[deeman101]

I always submit everything at the last minute and don't regret it. Time crunch pressure + deeman = "woah this is gold!" . I submitted my app for the school I'm currently in at literally the last 2 mins I believe.

[future_doc]

You are the last minute man then but not on the highway where you always get there first!

[Cerena]

I submitted the day before.

I finished a while ago, but I just kept checking it over and over and over again.

[ku9889]

Submitted it at 4:30 am , didn't want a computer issue to arise, although finishing it at 4:30 am, I probably had some typos lol

[future_doc]

I submitted the day before.

 

The day before (today) is one day too late.

[anxious_101]

Well, the pattern among my friends is pretty much reproduced here as well:

 

24% of guys submitted their app in the last hour versus only 5% of females that waited till the last hour.
