Missed Oxbridge deadline by 1 minute

Great news....UCAS have confirmed my application is on-time.

I was on the Pay/Send page before the 18:00 deadline and my app was received by UCAS at 18:01 who processed it at 18:03.

They said that Oxford (tutors) will see the processed time but will go on what we (UCAS) tell them is on-time or late.

They did not confirm the information you provided about last year.

From what Oxbridge tutors have said:

1. Colleges receive applications in batches each day from the central team who received all those applications the previous day. Colleges are informed when the last batch of on-time applications has been delivered (this would seem in-line with what you said happened last year). Further batches received after this are rejected as invalid by the college.

2. Tutors do not see submission time (again agrees with what you say about processed time)

Whilst all this might be true, I think the point is that most of us don't leave our Oxbridge application with 1 minute to spare to the deadline...

I think it would be reasonable to assume that the people following this thread would want to know what happened to me in my case.

When you send your application does not increase/decrease your chances of getting an offer as long as it is on time.

Congrats

@Overses have you had an answer from UCAS?

Congrats first of all and hope you get an interview !

So, tutors do not see submission time but sees processed time? So, they will still see the 18:03 on yours?

But UCAS calculates it as on time if you reached the Pay/Send before 18:00?

Is my questions above correct?

Congrats again.

I'd suggest it's the time you actually click Send.

That may be the case for some courses at Oxford, but it isn't for Cambridge. There's no mechanistic deselection due to pre-interview admissions assessment results.

What happens if you forget to register and miss the deadline by a week for the history aptitude test at oxford but you sent off your ucas on time? Are they lenient or will your application be dismissed?

If you haven't taken the test required for selection then you wont be made an offer.

But what if no one has sat the test yet, it’s just that you forgot to register for it.

This is from last year.

What the hell is wrong with 'Today on TSR'??

This incident happened a year ago... how this is possibly on "Today on TSR" is beyond me, apart from maybe because of Lucia London bumping this thread after a year.
