<p>No, as per CommonApp FAQ, all times are Eastern Standard Time.</p>
<p>However, luckily enough, Yale’s website says explicitly:</p>
<p>The postmark deadline for paper applications is December 31st. We will keep the online application Web site open through January 3rd, so that students who may have technical problems submitting their application are able to resolve the problem and still have time to submit their application. Please note that if you experience technical diffficulties with the online Common Application or Yale Supplement, you should contact the Common Application Help Desk directly by using the Help link on the Common Application Web site. The Help Desk is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Undergraduate Admissions Office will be closed from December 22nd through January 1st.</p>
