<p>I live in Hawaii, so I am about five hours behind all the colleges I am applying to, and want to know when I have to submit my applications. If a college lists a deadline, it is obviously in EST - but do I have to submit by the deadline in EST or Hawaii time? I know that on the Common App, it says that "Schools located in other time zones may accept your documents up until the posted deadline in their local timezone, even though your submission time stamp will be recorded in eastern time." But how do we know which schools do this? Is it all schools? Only some? Is there a way to find out which schools allow this and which do not?</p>
<p>You have to check each schools application you are applying to.</p>
