So I am a california resident and I sent my Stanford app at 11:58 (I know… procrastination). On my CA portal, it says that I submitted at 2:58 ET on January 4th. Would this create any issues with meeting the deadline. It did say that the deadline was in my local time, so I’m not sure why it is displaying my application as submitting the following day.
You’re fine. College applications are due local time (and even if it was submitted the next day, you won’t be penalized for it).
