<p>Jan 1st is the deadline for Williams College...</p>
<p>I submitted everything at exactly 9:00 PM (PST) on Jan 1st, but on the Common App, it says I submitted on Jan 2nd. I'm guessing that going by EST, I submitted at exactly 12:00 AM Jan 2nd, one minute after the deadline.</p>
<p>Will I still be considered?</p>
<p>Relax. Most schools have a grace period after the deadline (ranging from a couple minutes to a couple of hours, depends on the school). I submitted my app to Stanford 3 minutes late (Stanford is notorious for their strict deadlines), I emailed the admissions office a couple minutes later and they said it was fine. I mean, a school is really not going to toss your app out because it was one minute late. Relaxxxxxxxxxx.</p>
