<p>Quick question....
I know im procrastinating, but i really need all the extra time I can get to finish my essays, so that being said, when is the absolute deadline for the app submission via commonapp.com.</p>
<p>Is it 11:59pm Jan 2nd?
or 11:59pm Jan. 1st?</p>
<p>According to the website, the postmark deadline is January 2. For e-filers, that would mean Jan 2 by 11:59 PM. UChic expects lots of these things last minute, so RELAX, although I would do make your best effort to proofread EVERYTHING carefully with a preset deadline not later than 6 PM on the 2nd in case something happens with your server, for example...................GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>thanks...i was pretty sure thats when it was but wanted a second opinion...</p>
<p>I put UChicago's essays last on my list of apps. (I actually wrote nearly 2 pages on Essay #3 way back in October, but decided to scrap that entire essay.) Waiting until Christmas break was obviously not the best thing to do.</p>
<p>When it says that 1/2 is the deadline, that means it has to be in by the end of the day on 1/2, not BEFORE 1/2, I believe. 11:59 PM in your own time zone on 1/2 is correct.</p>
