Really dire situation here: I had some major technical difficulties when submitting my Mishcon de Reya app, which led to me submitting it just now. I received a confirmation email from MDR, but I'm debating if I should contact grad rec since it was 5 minutes past the deadline.

    I am assuming it went through? The same thing happened to me for another app and it somehow submitted past the deadline which didn't end up being an issue. As long as you got the 'Thank you for applying to Mishcon de Reya, your application has been successfully submitted.'

    Yes, it did go through and I got the email but on the system, the application time was recorded as 00:05. I was panicking so I didn't even get a chance to save the application to my PC or do a final review before sending it off.
