<p>Well i’m wondering if the cut off point is the same for everybody, or is itdifferent for applicants from different time zones? Are deadlines all in US time(for everyone)?</p>
<p>What do you mean? For the online deadlines, it’s usually 23:59, EST or whatever according to where the college is, of whatever day they state. A friend of mine was 2 hours late with his online app for JHU but they still accepted him, so apparently some schools still consider applications that aren’t considerably late, at their discretion. </p>
<p>However, this DOESN’T mean you should push the deadline.</p>
<p>well juz go according to your timezone? afterall, the envelops r postmarked in your country. surely admission officers or admission clerks even are not so bored as to convert your time to their time and see whether you exceeded the deadline??? besides, even if u do exceed the deadline, say by 1 or 2 days, i dun think it wld matter. colleges WANT to process your application, after all that can only boost their admission rates. n i remember chicago stated in their instructions that it’s perfectly fine if u r late by 1 day or 2. but as heythatslife said, just don’t push it.</p>
<p>hey, i think s/he meant the online app.</p>
<p>oops…</p>
