final recommender got his in last night. Im complete. Its gametime. Hopefully i make it to the fourth quarter, and don't come up with a groin injury in pregame warmups.

a big congrats to everyone who got their R1 apps in by today...best of luck!

My recommender submitted her rec at 5:01pm (according to her clock)... do you guys think that automatically puts me in round 2? I can't find the official time of submission for recs anywhere, whereas the exact time down to the second that I submitted my actual app is on the main page.

My recommenders said something about being a reassurance that they could be a little late and it wouldn't hurt your R1 chances...they said they were pretty sure it was for Harvard...can anybody confirm?

i dont know about 5:01 but they did say that they will put you in round 1 if you have at least 2 out of the 3 recs in the place....

I would like to know the same. I submitted my HBS, Wharton, and Chicago applications on 10/1, and only HBS has yet to be changed to "complete" status.

Will HBS change the application status to "complete" once they have confirmed all materials were properly submitted? If so, has anybody's status changed to complete yet?

Don't know... mine's still in "submitted" status too. Does anyone know if we get an email when our status changes? Does it change to "complete" or "received" or anything?
