What do the due dates really mean??

Prep School Admissions
1

I am applying to Groton, Exeter, and St. Pauls

What does it mean when the due date is the 15th, do I have until the end of the 14th or the end of the 15th??

Please help, I need this in one hour!!

I’m not sure how prep schools work but for college applications if they say the 15th they usually mean until the end of the 15th, unless other wise specified

Thanks, I guess I can go to bed…

Better to submit it too early than too late so if you’re questioning when to submit it, it’s safer to not risk it by submitting it past the deadline.

@cababe97 has a very valid point^^

@cababe97 has a good point. Better to submit it early, than have a technical error on the last day. A good idea to not risk that.

It means 11:59 pm (in the time zone of the school) on the day that it’s due by, unless a different time (e.g., 5 pm) is specified.

Actually on gatewaytoprepschools it was very clear that the deadline was 1/15 by 4PM. Hope they made it.

Where did it say 4 pm?

My son’s gateway screen said something about upc time and that if it accepts the submission than its still in ontime. It was a note at the top, but it did not mention 4 pm.

If you live on pst time, it was due at 4pm. Depending on what time zone you live in, the due time will be different. You can look up utc time to _____ (time zone that you live in) to see how long you actually have until it’s due for you.
