The Real Deadline Date?

<p>The website says January 1, as you all know. But does this mean BY January 1, or ON January 1. Meaning, do I have to send the application sometime tomorrow?</p>

<p>Assume that I can't send it tomorrow for some reason.</p>

<p>Hrm - I always thought that deadlines meant that it can be turned in at 11:59 on Jan 1st. The UC system worked that way..</p>

<p>I'm basically screwed if it is due on sometime tomorrow for some reason. I managed to somehow not see the Northwestern essay; I assumed that it would be a generic, common app type question. Assumptions have not been going very well for me lately.</p>

<p>Anyone else know the answer for sure?</p>

<p>sorry schoolisnotforfools...maybe you should learn something from this...i've had similar experiences everybody does...but do you by any chance know the derviations of the word assume?</p>

<p>Haha...yes I have heard it many times. I'm pretty dumb, though; by my estimate I'll finally learn from my mistakes when I'm 87.</p>

<p>"deadline to submit an application is Sunday, January 1, 2006. The online application web site will be live throughout the day on January 1"
i copied this from the e-mail Nw has sent me
Don't worry too much i think you have time on sunday stilll
besides this experience would make a good essay itself for the mistake option ;P</p>

<p>WOOHOO!!!! I guess the luck of the Irish is with me tonight. I've had two adventures, and came out of both unscathed. Excuse me while I pass out from exhaustion.</p>

<p>um can u just make sure and call the office? please i want to be 100 and 1% sure</p>
