<p>For some reason, on the Dashboard of Common App, it says I submitted my USC app on December 2nd even though it's not December 2nd ET yet. However, underneath the actual USC tab on "My Colleges" it says that I submitted my applications at 8:30 and 9:45 ET on December 1st.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Does this mean I may have missed the scholarship deadline?</p>
<p>I would trust the actual USC tab over the common app. You could also contact USC and make sure.</p>
<p>USC will look at the submission time in Pacific Time— the Common App usually lists stuff in Eastern Time (East coast bias, sigh). Don’t worry :)</p>
<p>Just more screwed up Comm App stuff. USC will understand.</p>
<p>As camomof3 says, The Common App uses an Eastern Time time stamp. USC uses Pacific time. So submissions tonight up to 11:59pm Pacific time will have an up to 2:59am, Dec 2 time stamp - which is fine (and has been consistent since USC switched to the common app 3 years ago).</p>
<p>So sleep well!</p>
<p>^^Except he filed when it still was Dec 1 on the East Coast. Just a problem with the Common App.</p>
<p>There are instructions here <a href=“https://appsupport.commonapp.org/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=1629&hitOffset=74+47+46+17&docID=4011[/url]”>https://appsupport.commonapp.org/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=1629&hitOffset=74+47+46+17&docID=4011</a> to see your submission time. It seems this year the display is “Coordinated Universal Time” (I have never before heard of this…), but they have instructions to see your submission time.</p>
