Submitted "Additional Information Form" for Cambridge late

I forgot about the Additional Information Form that was due on October 27, and only submitted it when the admissions officer emailed me that I hadn't completed it. Does this put me at a disadvantage to other applicants? How important is this form? Can't believe I forgot deadlines...

did you ask the admissions officer?
Given that they went to the trouble of chasing you up for it, it’s likely not going to make any difference that it was late. Only admissions staff at Cambs know for certain though.

Ah, thank you so so much. Will have to wait til the interview offer to be sure, though.
@Admit-One is right - as long as you filled it in, it doesn't make a difference when you did it. As long as you submit all the paperwork/additional documents you're asked for, it won't make a difference to your application. It might annoy the Admissions Officer(s), but we don't have any say in the decisions that are made.

Thanks for confirming!
