submitted my application "on time" but waht about time zone?

<p>its 10:46 where im at right now so i met the 1/1 midnight deadline, but on common app it says i submitted it on 1/2. whats the commonapp time zone? and are they going to know that i submitted it on time according to my region?</p>

<p>I believe the Common App time zone is Eastern time (EST)</p>

<p>I'm in a similar position. I looked at Common App's Help section and they had this to say:</p>

<p>Will my application be accepted if I do not reside in the Eastern time zone?</p>

<pre><code>All application deadlines are as of 11:59pm ET on the stated deadline day. The Common Application records all dates (deadlines, form submission dates, payment dates) in Eastern Time. Schools not located in the eastern time zone may choose to extend their application deadlines to the end of a deadline day in their local time zone, or may accept your documents up until the posted deadline in their local time zone (even though your submission time stamp will be recorded in Eastern Time.) For example, a school located in California may accept your application until 2:59am Eastern Time, which is equivalent to 11:59pm Pacific Time. Since this is on a school-by-school basis and this is not information that may not be available to you, we recommend you submit based on the Eastern Time deadline. Most colleges will accept the submission if it is within a reasonable time period around their deadline.

<p>So hopefully, the submissions will still be accepted.</p>
