<p>On the commonapp online app, the Duke supplement says there is a 1/3 deadline. I thought it was 1/2? Can someone confirm?</p>
<p>According to Duke's website, the application is due by January 2.</p>
<p>....hmm. this may pose a problem. i was going by common app....</p>
<p>Post office reopens Jan 3 so it makes sense.</p>
<p>Nevermind it says in the instructions jan 2, so i dunno.</p>
<p>....i sent it 12:47ish EST after realizing that the common app was WRONG with its 1/3 deadline... but 12:47 jan 2 in connecticut is still not jan 2 in california though, right? :/ it says on the common app that i submitted it jan 2 though.. </p>
<p>should i be really worried? will they straight out reject it or not even look at it ? :(</p>
<p>the common app and its stupid eastern time has totally been screwing me over. They should say that on there somewhere. Stanford was very considerate towards its last minute applicants.</p>
<p>I emailed the Duke Admissions office about the Jan. 3rd deadline, here's what was said:</p>

<p>To Mr. Carpenter:
I wanted to know if you still accept applications postmarked on Jan. 3rd or do you automatically reject them? Since post offices were closed yesterday. </p>
<p>Thank you for your time</p>

<p>I suggest that you submit your materials as soon as possible. We have extended our deadline to January 9. </p>
