So I know this is kind of a stupid question, but...

<p>...I'm working on my last essay, and it hit me: what exactly does a Jan 1 deadline mean? Is it, be in by noon on Jan 1, by 3 PM on Jan 1, by 11:59 PM Jan 1? If I had just a couple more hours, I could make this last essay really great. If not...it'll be OK. Can anyone tell me exactly when they have to be in? Or is it different for different schools? Thank you! =)</p>

<p>Help? Anyone's opinion/input would be greatly appreciated =)</p>

<p>from what i've read by other people, the deadline is Jan 1 11:59 PM eastern time</p>

<p>Thanks =) That gives me some more time to write!</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure it's Jan 1, 11:59PM in the time zone you're at. They check your address. However, I'm not 100% clear on if all colleges handle it that way.</p>

<p>Best bet is NOT to submit it during the last hour. =P</p>

<p>I think it's Eastern USA time for everyone.</p>

<p>I wouldn't take the chance of doing it past 12AM EAT.</p>
