<p>Does that mean November 30 by 11:59 PM or december 1st by 11:59 PM?</p>
<p>December 1, 11:59 p.m. with applicable time zone based on location of college.</p>
<p>Thanks. Is it the same for all colleges?</p>
<p>I honestly wouldn’t recommend pushing it until the last minute.</p>
<p>I don’t plan on it. It is just for an extra letter of rec I will be receiving after my local post office closes, so I can’t send it today.</p>
<p>I cannot say it is the same for all colleges but it is the same for all for which I have ever looked at the issue which is a lot. But you can assume that if the college simply says Dec 1 and provides no time of day, you have until 11:59 (actually midnight but people sometimes get confused when a school says “midnight, December 1” thinking that could refer to the crossover from Nov 30 to Dec 1, but it does not, it always means the end of Dec 1).</p>
<p>Actually you need to check every college website very carefully. There was a “Dec. 1, 8 am” on one merit site, just cant remember which one. But it shouldnt matter for a rec letter.</p>
