<p>So. The regular deadline is January 2nd. Is it true that you can still submit your application on the 2nd and not have it be late?</p>
<p>it's due on the second so you can send it in on the 2nd before midnight. after the second it's late. right?....</p>
<p>Yes. And don't forget that the Common Application is based in Virginia, so the Common App's servers are all back there on Eastern Standard Time. Midnight in California January 2 is actually 3:00 am January 3 in Virginia. The CMC Admission Office told my son that they realize this and they take it into account. As long as you submit before midnight (PST) Friday night you will be on time.</p>
