PLEASE HELP ME (Stanford deadline)

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

hi! I know it was a bad idea to wait this long to submit, but there’s nothing I can do about that now. I waited until just past 9 pm PST to attempt to submit my Stanford Early app because I had read that Stanford based its deadlines on Pacific Time, but I got this message on the Common App: “The deadline for the start term and admission plan you have selected has passed. Please review this college’s deadlines and, if available, choose another start term or admission plan with a future application deadline date.”

If Stanford really is accepting the app up to 11:59 PST, what am I supposed to do? The Common App literally will not let me submit under Early Action- am I supposed to submit regular and use the Timestamp as proof that I submitted in time??

All Common App applications are due 11:59 eastern time, not pacific time! I don’t know if there’s anything you can do but submitt it regular decision at this point.

^ This is wrong. The Common App seems to have had another computer glitch.
“The application deadline is at 11:59 PM of the stated deadline date. The deadline time is either your local time zone or the school’s time zone, whichever is later. This means that you always have the full day of the stated deadline to submit your application.”
