Late Submission to US Universities

• Various Mysterious Systems

• In the case of MIT:

  • It seems that MIT does not allow late submissions.
  • For those who have missed a deadline, submitted late, or didn’t submit supplements: ApplyingToCollege

• In the case of CommonApp:

  • The deadline is stated in the local timezone for all universities.
  • However, the university descriptions may differ.
    • For example: Stanford.
  • Actual behavior of CommonApp (in JST):
    • If it is past 23:59 EST, it will be marked as “Overdue.”
      • However, it is still possible to submit.
  • Examples from actual universities:
    • Princeton (blu3mo):
      • The deadline was stated as 1/1, and I submitted around 14:30 JST on 1/2.
      • Result: Accepted.
    • JHU (blu3mo):
      • The deadline was stated as 1/3, and I submitted around 17:00 JST on 1/4.
      • Result: Not accepted.
        • (However, the deadline for JHU as a whole was unexpectedly extended for a few days, so it was luckily accepted in the end.)
    • Brown (blu3mo):
      • The deadline was stated as 1/5, and I submitted around 14:30 JST on 1/6.
      • Result: Accepted.
