<p>If the deadline for a certain college is Jan. 1st, does that mean 11:59 PM on Jan. 1st or 11:59 on Dec. 31st?</p>
<p>Id like to know too. And for school forms like teacher recs, it counts as a Jan 1 arrival date or Jan 1 postmark?</p>
<p>Postmark
and I think, but I am not sure 11:59 on Jan 1</p>
<p>Does anybody know for sure???</p>
<p>Defs Jan 1st 11:59PM EST for most schools, although some (Like Chicago don't care what time zone)</p>
<p>Definitely Jan 1, 11:59. I sent in my early app (hehe, didn't get in), but the college contacted me and said they had successfully received all my materials on time.</p>
<p>same goes for mail date: it's the postmarked date of Jan 1, not arrival by Jan 1. However, this MAY differ for different schools, so I would be sure to check on the school's website.</p>
