By what time on Dec. 1 are applications due?

I'm getting nervous. My SOP would benefit from a fresh read tomorrow. No where on the school web site does it say a time cut off though. Does my application vanish at the stroke of midnight?

Probably midnight tomorrow, whether that is EST or PST (or something else) I couldn't tell you...

[snes]

I've seen schools specify 5pm but I always assume midnight (as in 11:59pm). I myself will be freshly reading an application tomorrow before hitting submit. (It seems the online app is down right now anyway. Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap.)

Edited to add: maeisenb has a point. I would adhere to the school's time zone or your time zone, whichever is earliest.

MOO, I'd be in CYA mode and treat the deadline as COB using the time zones of the programs to which I was applying.

My $0.02.

Thanks guys. My app is still there, so I'll shoot for COB (4:00 to be safe, hopefully sooner)

Holy ****, Berkeley is due so soon. I really want to get this in before the last minute. I'm so afraid to hit send, though, like I'll later realize I sent two of the same transcript or something. Or that I misspelled my last name on my CV.

Does anyone know if UC schools use PST for their deadlines?

I can tell you that Berkeley does, and the application closed 30 minutes ago.

[PhDreams]

Thanks, Safferz. I applied to both UCLA and Berkeley. I noticed that Berkeley had a countdown on their app; UCLA did not.
