<p>Is it due 11:59 PM of the timezone you live in, the timezone of the college, or something diff?</p>
<p>Your time zone.</p>
<p>From an email with commonapp:</p>
<p>All application deadlines are as of 11:59pm 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 is 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>Yeah, I saw commonapp's little blurb saying their time was in ET, so I submitted it a few mins before 10:59 PM just to be on the safe side. I coulda possibly used the extra time, though.</p>
<p>I found this on the common app help section:</p>
<p>Living in a different time zone does not affect your application on the day of the deadline. Institutions recognize that students live in different time zones.</p>
<p>It sucks that today is a Saturday (can't call up the school) and its also Day Light Savings.</p>
<p>I think it goes by the area the college is located in...or well the colleges choose themselves. I know for Johns Hopkins it's eastern time, but I read somewhere on cc for University of Michigan it's pacific. I'd go with eastern time just in case because it's earlier.</p>
<p>UMich isn't even on the common app...</p>
