Is it on, or before May 1, or is it before May 1?
ETA- I am pretty sure it is midnight at the end of May 1 but it is too important a question to mess up.
Correct on both points. As long as the time stamp says the date is May 1, you are in under the deadline. May 2 is too late. It is a deadline - you don’t have to wait until May 1, you can deposit any date before then, too (today, for example; hint, hint). I believe it is May 1 at the school, in case you are in a different time zone, but that’s just my impression, I have not verified it. That won’t matter though, because…
Please DO NOT WAIT until late at night on the last day! Do it (or try to) at least a full day ahead of time, so that if there is any glitch you can work it out without a doubt before the deadline. It it doesn’t work on April 30, it’s better to call the admission office at lunchtime on May 1 when they are there to handle it, rather than at 11:30 p.m. when they are surely NOT there.
