March 15th Transfer App Due Date

<p>A lot of colleges (in my case Stanford and Penn) want the CommonApp submitted by March 15, which is this Saturday. Does anyone know what time the application should be submitted by? As in, is it due on the night of the 15th, or is it due on Friday? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your answers!</p>

<p>anytime before midnight on saturday</p>

<p>Nope... thats not true Defrasne</p>

<p>It depends where you are and where your school is!
For example, if you are in Northeast and applying to a californian school... than you can submit the application till 3:00 a.m. March 16th.</p>

<p>Trust me..I am from NY. I applied to Berkeley like 2:00 pm in the morning of December 1st. The application was due on November 30th but the application was set at Californian time!</p>

<p>ok but why would you really want to wait that late anyways</p>

<p>^ midterms up until Friday</p>

<p>You think that's bad... try having a final this week</p>

<p>Note: remember east coast time</p>

<p>uhhh try having 2 finals this week. and 3 final projects. that i was supposed to spend at least 15 hours each on.</p>

<p>haha. </p>

<p>i neep sleep.</p>

<p>so, as far as i know, its midnight their time.</p>

<p>this really is the worst time to have deadlines considering I think this is midterm/final week for most college students! But, hey I guess it's an added challenge!</p>

<p>But ya, Stanford is 3:00am EST, just got an email from them reminding me to submit... I assume most schools abide by their local timezone, but try and submit it early anyways.. I know its hard though, and I might be submitting last minute as well.</p>

<p>Ce la vie!</p>

<p>On a slightly related note--</p>

<p>Will colleges (Penn in my case) mind if my ACT score and possibly a recommendation and my dean's form arrive a few days late? I got caught up in midterms and procrastination the past couple of weeks. The ACT score should be postmarked by the fifteenth, but I have no control over what the Dean's office does with my form. </p>

<p>I know the Penn site does say that they will only give out one warning for missing materials, which is somewhat of a comfort, but I just wanted to make sure.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot everyone!</p>

<p>I'm kind of wondering the same thing. How they tend to treat stuff that comes in just a day or two late?</p>

<p>It's fine if it is a few days late...a few weeks late is a no go.</p>

<p>i know brown said that any apps postmarked after the deadline were placed in a "late" pile, and were only read after all decisions had been made on the on-time applications</p>

<p>So we dont' have to submit by today (Friday)?</p>

<p>no, we don't. i'm almost positive it is saturday. but you might want to try to get it in asap just to provide for any mishaps?</p>

<p>which is what you are probably doing (like me) since you are awake at 4:07?</p>

<p>So these are not due tonight, but by 11:59pm on Saturday? Just making sure because I've had tons of stuff. The terminology used in this thread can be read many ways.</p>
