I submitted my Wharton application today at 5:08pm instead of 5:00pm. Does anyone have any personal experience with being a few minutes late? My fear is that I'll be rolled to round 3. Thanks

The best thing to do would be to contact the admissions office directly to inquire how they process applications. If it's all electronic stamping, you may indeed be bumped, but they may also have a built in window to account for technological errors or delays. I can't say how it will look to have had all year to submit and then miss the deadline by 8 minutes. There are some hard-noses in every system who will look upon that as either poor planning or an error in judgement. Let's hope you don't have the hard nose dealing with yours!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
