[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely reach out, and please ignore people who feel the strange compulsion to weigh in with negative comments.

I would immediately have your DC send emails to each admissions office, explaining what happened (without trying to make excuses) and expressing hope that they will still be considered for EA.  You can then ask your HS college counselor Monday morning for any further advice.  It may work, and it may not, but you won't know unless you try.

My DC had an experience submitting an application for an academic program near the last minute, at which point the platform had crashed, undoubtedly a sign that they were not alone in their procrastination.  It finally submitted about an hour after the deadline.  DC immediately emailed the program coordinator, and was told that the application would be considered.  And as a result of that experience, they never again will submit close to the deadline.

Good luck OP.  [/quote]
THIS.

Servers often crash because a huge volume of students are submitting at the same time.  The colleges are used to technical glitches.  Please explain to the college (send an email) letting them know this happened.  BTW - this is incredibly common.  And every college will send out emails assuring students that the submissios will be considered.[/quote]
