Is this grammatical?

"I couldn't turn my application in by the due date. I'm really concerned that I should have submitted by application before the due date! Would it pose any problems in being considered for admission?"

Thanks!

Thanks to both of you. I'm going to include the reason and I have requested them for extra time (took that exclamation off).

Thanks again!
