Message: <blockquote data-quote="RasAlGhul" data-source="post: 228753" data-attributes="member: 43454">This is honestly more common than you think, so try not to beat yourself up over it.I’ve actually submitted applications myself exactly at 23:59 before and had the same thing happen. The confirmation email came through showing 00:00 the next day. It’s usually down to how the portal timestamps submissions rather than when you physically clicked “submit”, especially when lots of people are trying to upload at the last minute.From what I’ve seen (both personally and from supporting other applicants), firms don’t treat this as a hard cut-off to the minute. Applications aren’t being auto-rejected at 00:00:01. Recruiters are well aware that their systems lag, particularly on deadline nights, and they’re far more interested in whether the application itself is strong.A couple of things that should reassure you:This kind of one-minute discrepancy doesn’t get “held against” you during review. If it’s looked at, it’s looked at on its merits.In practice, people who submit around the deadline do still progress. I’ve seen interview invites come through in exactly this situation.I also wouldn’t email recruitment about it. That can sometimes do more harm than good by drawing attention to something that they may not even consider an issue. At this point, the best thing you can do is exactly what you’re doing: park it mentally and focus on other applications.If you get an invite, you’ll know the timing was irrelevant. If you don’t, it’s almost certainly going to be about the substance of the application rather than a technicality.So don’t write it off just yet. Fingers crossed for you 🤞</blockquote>
