<p>If the deadline is Jan. 1. Does it mean I have until tonight midnight, or Jan 1. Midnight?
Thanks</p>
<p>yah i just found this out this week. It’s until Jan 1st 11:59 p.m. Don’t forget time zones. (i.e. east coast school deadline 1/1 11:59 EDT)</p>
<p>How sure are you about this?</p>
<p>Tomato is 100% right on. You can trust the one whose location is “where the cops can’t find me.”</p>
<p>11:59 PM on deadline day is correct. </p>
<p>Hope my title helps settle that. :)</p>
<p>Okay thanks, I guess I have two days to finish these essays.</p>
<p>30 hours or so now :p, but yeah. Just don’t procrastinate any more…</p>

^just found out that time zones don’t matter so common app needs to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. EDT regardless of location of school. The common app has east coast bias.</p>
<p>^the individual schools download the application so they won’t care if it’s before 12 AM of their time zone. they’ll still download it if its late but it may jeopardize your chances.</p>
<p>collegeboard has east coast bias though, I learned that the hard way when signing up for SAT’s. $20+ late fees :(</p>
