<p>As the question states above, I am just wondering if I could submit my application anytime tomorrow.</p>
<p>Yes, as long as it is sent before 11:59pm on January 1st. :)</p>
<p>You can, but keep in mind that many others will wait until the last moment and the systems will be behaving very slowly uploading your documents. Don’t wait too long or you’ll stress yourself out.</p>
<p>^
I agree.
I’m going to try to send everything out tonight or early tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>Yes but start filling out and finishing everything now because you never know what could happen if you wait until the last minute.</p>
<p>Also, the time corresponds to the time zone where the college is located. Just send in your app now and you don’t have to worry about that.</p>
<p>Yes, but remember if you’re on the west coast and applying to east coast colleges, you have to account for the time difference.</p>
<p>Little secret for you. You could actually send it on Jan 2 and it won’t affect you. Imagine that.</p>
<p>^
I think it’s because some colleges give extra time after the deadline. So if students don’t send it in on time they have another day or two…</p>
<p>Do you really want to put yourself under the stress of worrying about the server crashing under a glut of last-moment applications, etc.? After all, between Jan 1 being a national holiday, and it being late at night, it’s not like adcoms are going to be standing around to troubleshoot any potential glitches, worrying about if you get your application in before the deadline…</p>
<p>some schools may be lenient about enforcing a hard deadline. Other schools who are way over-applied may be more rigid just as a way of helping eliminate some applications. And if it came down to decisions between two similar applications, and I were the reading adcom, and I noticed the very last moment timestamp on an application, it might make me think twice about the applicant’s true interest in and deep knowledge of my school, or make me think twice about the applicant’s organizational skills and the ability to do well at my college.</p>
<p>So there are a lot of reasons I would not want to wait to the last minute to hit submit.</p>
