<p>In three minutes, it will be 2nd January on the East Coast. However it's 20:57 in California. Do I have 3 hours to finish my Harvey Mudd app, or just 3 minutes?</p>
<p>three hours!</p>
<p>SAME HERE BRO.</p>
<p>DO IT SOON</p>
<p>I’ve heard that the deadline is 11:59pm EST</p>
<p>The Common App staff answers this on their Facebook page</p>
<p>common app posted on their Facebook/twitter “Submissions are recorded in Eastern Time, but as long as you submit on deadline day by 11:59 PM your local time you’ve met the deadline.”</p>
<p>I saw it, but I’m not talking about my local time, I’m talking about Harvey Mudd’s time(I’m not from California…).</p>
<p>it’s due at midnight your time.</p>
<p>Schools want you to apply. It definitely says something about you if you can’t plan your time well enough to meet a deadline, and your demonstrated interest, of course. On the other hand, schools WANT people to apply - it makes their stats look good and frankly, you’d be dumb to turn down a student who would be an asset to the school and who really wants to attend just because they missed the deadline by an hour.</p>
<p>I have to believe that ‘good faith efforts’ to get the application in on time are going to be honored rather than trashed. I have yet to hear of any function in the admissions office known as ‘trashing the late apes’ where staff sit around on Jan 2 and hit the delete button over and over to eliminate those pesky people who can’t follow instructions. </p>
<p>This isn’t to say you shouldn’t get it in on time - but I also worry about kids who say, ‘I missed the deadline so it’s probably all over for me’ at school X. If they actually called the admissions office, I suspect they would be told to submit anyway.</p>
<p>All common app member colleges with a Jan 1 deadline will accept any app submitted on Jan 2. <a href=“https://twitter.com/commonapp[/url]”>https://twitter.com/commonapp</a></p>
<p>Thank you immensely, niceday!
Really great news.</p>
