<p>i thought the application was due 11:59pm on december 1st for USC for scholarship consideration. BUT IT SAID THAT I TURNED IT IN AT 1AM!!!</p>
<p>i live in california!! so i thought it was pacific time?????</p>
<p>is the common app eastern time! can i debate getting a scholarship???</p>
<p>please help, i'm freaking out</p>
<p>Yes, common app is using eastern time.</p>
<p>it says on the USC page that the deadline is December 1, 2011. it does not specify time or time zone what so ever.</p>
<p>Debbey, I just did a little poking around for you. I found a few “references” which say that each school has its own grace period for this situation but that most of them have one. Also, there is a comprehensive post here on CC by “geek-mom” (who is, I understand, a knowledgeable member? Sorry, I’m still new…). It’s in a thread called “Common App FAQ 2011”, in case you want to search. Her comments suggest you should be alright. Perhaps you could also contact USC to be sure? I know your heart is probably in your throat right now but I think you’re gonna be okay. :-)</p>
<p>Debbey, As this is the first year that USC has used the common app, and because it IS a west coast school, I’m surer you wont have a problem with your app being 1 hr “late”. Relax.</p>
<p>Common App time stamp is eastern time. With Stanford and likely USC, because the school is in pacific time you still officially have until 11:59 pm pacific time, so 2:59am December 2nd eastern time. I had a momentary panic, then e-mailed Stanford the next day and got an auto response with the time zone explanation. Check tomorrow, but you should be just fine.</p>
<p>USC is in the California, so it goes with Pacific time zone. You are fine. Don’t worry!</p>
<p>Thank you so much, for at least calming my nerves. I would think that a California college would be in PST, but i guess not. -_- I’ll be sure to e-mail the school and ask and search that thread.</p>
<p>Thank goodness! there’s no way I’m going there without a scholarship, so i really needed to be on time! I just freaked out when i saw the time stamp as 1AM</p>
<p>Where you able to find out if they accepted it???
I just submitted my transfer application and had the same thing happen.<br>
Heart was in my throat until Iread this post, which moved it down about two inches.<br>
Everything that could go wrong did! Computer froze, switched to laptop, then while submitting app an error occured which said to contact technical support. Luckily when I logged back in it said submitted. Only problem is the time is eastern time… LMK Jen</p>
<p>Found out after posting that the deadline was pacific time. They did get it on time!</p>
