URGENT! When do we sumbit? ON Jan 1st?

Hey guys, I was wondering can we submit during the day on January 1st? Or does it have to be by 11:59 PM on December 31st?

Is the deadline 11:59 January 1st, or whatever the due date is? In simple terms can we work on them on the due date, no matter what date, and then submit before the next day, example January 2nd?

Please help!

It's called a deadline for a reason. you don't submit after it.

Duong, here's a quote from the Common App Support Center

Can I submit my application after the deadline?
You must contact the college(s) for permission to submit after the deadline. If the school will allow the submission, they must contact us directly.

Thank geek_mom.
I think it is impossible to contact adcom right now while every college takes a week off.

From the common app:
Will my application be accepted if I do not reside in the Eastern time zone?

All application deadlines are as of 11:59pm ET on the stated deadline day. The Common Application records all dates (deadlines, form submission dates, payment dates) in Eastern Time. Schools not located in the eastern time zone may choose to extend their application deadlines to the end of a deadline day in their local time zone, or may accept your documents up until the posted deadline in their local time zone (even though your submission time stamp will be recorded in Eastern Time.) For example, a school located in California may accept your application until 2:59am Eastern Time, which is equivalent to 11:59pm Pacific Time. Since this is on a school-by-school basis and this is not information that may not be available to you, we recommend you submit based on the Eastern Time deadline. Most colleges will accept the submission if it is within a reasonable time period around their deadline.
