Why does it say the deadline has passed or that my application was submitted after the deadline?

To meet an application deadline, you must submit your application materials by 11:59 pm on the day of the deadline displayed on your <b>Dashboard</b>. The end of the deadline date is in your local time zone, not the college&#39;s time zone. Keep in mind, all timestamps on your submitted applications are recorded in ET (US Eastern Time), as are the deadline dates displayed on your Dashboard.<br><br>If you see the &#39;Deadline has passed&#39; message for a school (like displayed below) and you are in a different time zone, you can still successfully submit by 11:59 your local time. If you can successfully submit your application, the Common App has delivered it to the college to which you applied.<br><br><br><img alt="User-added image" height="118" src="https://commonapp--c.na126.content.force.com/servlet/rtaImage?eid=ka13w…; width="500"></img><br><br>
