<p>is there a specific time...?
b/c i know a lot of applicants subbmitted their application couple of seconds after....
and then there's the whole "time zone" thing. </p>
<p>So wHen do colleges officially go "okay, no more ED even if it is one second later"?</p>
<p>Each school sets its own deadline and determines the rule about when to stop accepting ED applications. The same is true for RD applications.</p>
<p>Probably when they stop receiving mass amounts of applications and just a few are trickling in. I would imagine Nov 3-5 would be the latest. Remember, schools like to receive lots of applications so they can have a lower acceptance rate.</p>
