<p>At what time can you submit your application the latest? For example, if the deadline is January 1, do you have until the last minute of December 31 or the last minute of January 1? Also, in terms of hours, which timezone should you comply with?</p>
<p>Yes - I would like to know that as well - my child still has 3 applications (writing supplements) to complete to NYU, Tufts & Columbia. Does anyone know whether the deadline for submitting the common app & writing supplement to these schools is 11:59 pm Dec 31 - or 11:59 pm Jan 1?</p>
<p>It’s 11:59PM Jan 1st according to the EST time zone. Although, if your time zone is ahead of this, they don’t mind. This should help:
All application deadlines are as of 11:59pm ET on the stated deadline day. The Common Application records all dates (deadlines, form submission dates, payment dates) in Eastern Time. Schools not located in the eastern time zone may choose to extend their application deadlines to the end of a deadline day in their local time zone, or may accept your documents up until the posted deadline in their local time zone (even though your submission time stamp will be recorded in Eastern Time.) For example, a school located in California may accept your application until 2:59am Eastern Time, which is equivalent to 11:59pm Pacific Time. Since this is on a school-by-school basis and this is not information that may not be available to you, we recommend you submit based on the Eastern Time deadline. Most colleges will accept the submission if it is within a reasonable time period around their deadline.</p>
<p>OMG!. I got scared after seeing your questions. Thanks to firenation. Its on JAn 1. :)</p>
<p>thanks, firenation!</p>
<p>Thank you for the response! So to confirm, if Common App says that it’s due 1/1/14, it’s 11:59 EST on the 1st right?</p>
<p>Yes to your question etisawesomez!</p>
<p>Is that true for every college because I heard of colleges where it might be different, for some colleges. Could somebody please confirm if that fact remains true for Connecticut College, Colby College, and Middlebury College. Please say yes or ill literally cry myself to death</p>
<p>Nothing is true for every college. </p>
<p>Sometimes checking that college’s admissions website will give you answers you are seeking.</p>
