Common App did not recognize time change!

DD is trying to submit for a Nov 1 deadline and suddenly right after 11 pm it stopped updating and said that the deadline was passed.

Many schools calculate deadlines based on the applicant’s time zone, not the school’s. Still submit the application if the Common App allows her to, and check with the school tomorrow.

Yes it was 11 pm in my time zone. Yesterday was the last day of daylight saving time though and if one did not change the clocks it would have been midnight already. (Clarifying this for anyone who might have missed the time change as well(!))

Anyway, tried again and it went through. DOn’t know whose end the problem was on but relieved it got resolved.

For future readers - I strongly suggest you never, ever wait until 11pm on the due day to submit something that’s been available for weeks/months.

I’d suggest to not even wait until the last day.
