If deadline is Jan 1, do I have until Dec 31st 11:59pm or Jan 1st 11:59pm?

<p>Yes I'm not going to submit at the last hour but I would like clarification on the deadline.
Thank you.</p>

<p>11:59pm EST on January 1.</p>

<p>is this for sure? because i am having a panic.</p>

<p>I was wondering, this, too!</p>

5

<p>everybody’s wondering about this!</p>

<p>geek_mom is pretty knowledgeable so I’d trust him/her.</p>

<p>Well, Yale’s deadline’s Dec 31st, and it says on its website that it means you have to submit the materials by 11:59 p.m. Dec 30th :/</p>

7

<p>sid518, are you sure about this? do you have a link or something where it says this? i’ve heard that the deadline is not until 11:59 p.m. EST on the 31st.</p>

<p>holy **** just submit it already</p>

<p>It’s usually on the December 31st 11:59PM.So the minute before the new year.-think that way, its easier.</p>

10

<p>The Yale admissions website says “submit by midnight December 31st”.</p>

11

<p>Go to the CA support center and search for “deadlines.”. You’llfind the info you need there</p>

<p>Here’s my FAQ from last year, with a link to the Common App Support Center at the end.

<p>Here’s what Yale says, since sid518 named it specifically.
Source: [Application</a> to Yale College | Freshmen | Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/application/index.html]Application”>http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/application/index.html)

Nothing here about 11:59pm on Thursday – they say midnight on Friday, which commonapp.org defines as 11:59pm on Friday. sid518 may have another link on Yale’s Web site that might state things differently. If so, Yale would be the exception, not the norm.</p>

<p>But seriously – I’d suggest getting off of CC and using that time to get the application in a few hours early. The servers melt down close to every deadline; “technical difficulties grace period” or no, it’s not worth the added stress.</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you with your applications!</p>

<p>Same question here. When it says the deadline is “by January 1st”, my interpretation was that it is December 31st. When it says “January 1st,” I’m also confused. Surely makes a big difference to our kids who may still be struggling to get everything completed so any clear insights here would help this parent quite a bit. Thanks.</p>
