<p>When a school says its deadline is Dec 1. Does it mean that you may still submit the application before 00.00 of Dec 2 at local time?</p>
<p>Some schools use the time zone the school’s in, some use the time zone of the server, some use GMT.</p>
<p>Tell yourself the deadline is the day before so you’ve got a few extra hours in case there are any unfortunate mixups/missing parts (which there always are).</p>
<p>
Don’t forget the possibilities of server crashes or other system problems.</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll try to submit earlier.</p>
