<p>Does the Jan. 1st deadline mean I have to submit my application before Jan. 1st or can I submit it on that day as well?</p>
<p>Bump. If someone could answer this it would be very much appreciated.</p>
<p>You can submit it on Jan 1st too. However, watch out for the time zone… Say if you’re on the west coast and commonapp uses eastern time, turn it in before Jan 1st 9 pm to be safe.
Good luck!</p>
<p>On January 1 before the stroke of midnight. You really shouldn’t push it that close, though.</p>

<p>Agree with goingoff… What if commonapp crashes on New Years because too many people turn apps in at the same time? Apparently it’s happened before… or it was some school’s individual server for online applications.
best to do it before New Years Eve 
Then you can party all night because you’re finally done with all your college apps XD</p>
