The UC application is due on December 1 if you started the app before Nov. 30?

I did at least 95% of my University of California (UC) personal insight questions, with the expectation that they are due on Wednesday, November 30. Yet the website says that they are due on December 1 for those who started the application prior to November 30. I started the application in early November. Is my deadline November 30 or December 1? By default, I will submit the essays today. But, I want to know for sure.

The UC application site reads in the Review & Submit page (after logging in):
“If you started your application prior to 11:59 p.m. PST, November 30, you will have until 11:59 p.m. PST on December 1 to complete the submission of your application for fall 2017 admissions.”

Your second paragraph seems to answer your question.

UC Merced is having a live Q&A for any last-minute questions. They confirmed that, yes, the deadline is pushed back to December 1st.

This means we can edit our essays tomorrow to?
