<p>For example, if a college specifies its deadline as November 2nd,
are they referring to start of the date (0:00am/ 1minute after end of November 1st) or referring to end of the date (11:59pm/ 1minute before start of November 3rd)?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Why would you cut it that close? Always assume something will go wrong and give yourself some recovery time. A couple of years ago the Common App went down for a couple of days when most apps were due. Many students were sweating about whether they would get extensions for the timeline due to that.</p>
