Missing deadlines
What if you miss the deadline by a few days?
There are a few schools which were due Friday that I decided not to apply.
Then realized I might as well have given it a shot. Anyway, these are MA programs and not especially competitive... Do you think they will still review my stuff if I send it Monday? Does anyone have experience with this kind of

2. To second hellenphile's point, I don't think that we can possibly know, since this will likely vary depending on the program and person that you're dealing with. You'll have to simply call (and trust that they--like most of us--aren't inherently evil and trying to screw you over)...or else take that risk.
Honestly, aside from the logistical issue that you're asking about, I *don't* think you should apply--even to "not especially competitive" MA programs--if you had passed up on them before...unless, of course, you discover that they're a fabulous fit for your research interests. FUNDED MA's are still competitive...like Ph.D programs, chances are, you won't in unless you are well-suited for the program's strength. Unfunded MA's...well, I'm not sure that you should pay tuition for a program unless it can very useful to you...which again, requires fit. So consider the programs carefully: think about how studying there for a year or two can further your scholarship. If you're simply applying because those programs are uncompetitive...I don't think it's worth your effort and money at this point.
