Was my app late?

I know that I shouldn’t have waited until the last minute to send in my app, but… there you go. My situation:

from CA, so I follow by PST

applying EA to Stanford, whose postmark date is 11/01

submitted app at 11:52 PM (EDT) on 11/01, which is only 09:52 PM (PST) on 11/01

download date on CommonApp website reads 11/02, but my the pdf (the one that appears after you click the download date) reads 11/01/2008

I’m so beyond confused. I thought that the postmarked due date meant that I could submit my app ON Nov. 1, not BEFORE Nov. 1. What exactly did this postmark deadline actually mean? And am I completely screwed over for life? p____p
