November 1st deadline?

Is SCEA for Harvard’s deadline Oct 31 11:59 or Nov 1st 11:59?

The deadline is today (November 1st) at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time. If you’re having trouble figuring out what time that is in your time zone, see: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

Also, I just want to flag for European kids that the US did NOT turn their clocks back on Sunday.

@gibby, It is not EST, it is your local time. I am in the west coast, it is still not too late submit the application.

@TimeUpJunior I have heard from multiple sources including counselors that the due date is the time in the zone of the college you are applying to. So if you live on the west coast and are applying to Harvard you had better have your application filed by 8:59pm - which is 11:59 on the east coast.

@hcmom65 - Common App had a big disclaimer on their login page yesterday stating that all deadlines are “local time zones”.

News to me. I don’t have to worry. My daughter sent in well before deadline and already had interview. But interesting. Not what counselors were saying.

@hcmom65 - unless there is an absolute reason to wait till last minute, I agree with you on submitting much earlier.
