That might be pushing it... I would think they'll look at it. From previous posters who've had something similar happen (though they weren't usually 3 months late!), they don't pay much attention to the due date.
bobcat, If it makes you feel any better, I'm in exactly the same situation as you, except that I haven't even completed the app yet! A couple of months ago I looked at all of those essay questions, thought about how Durham wasn't my ideal city, and talked myself into putting the app aside. Now, after receiving a couple of rejections, I'm beginning to think I need to apply to as many schools as possible, and I'm thinking about completing my Duke app. Anyway, good luck!
