hairgreen Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Dear all: I'm a little confused by "midnight on September 01". Does it mean before September 1st or before September 2nd? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpp Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 think of new years...you count down to midnight, at which point it is Jan1 so before Sept 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucksDucksDucks Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I thought it meant before Sept. 2nd. Like due on or before Sept 1st 11:59pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robclem21 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 why not just aim for the earlier deadline to be safe? Unless you feel that extra 24 hours is going to make your application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCML Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've e-mailed Carolyn asking her to clarify but I assumed the deadline was at 11:59:59pm on Sept 1st. I'll let you all know what she says when she replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you all know what she says when she replies. Please do . I did sent her an email as well, but I only sent it last night . This never occurred to me until yesterday and my proofreader requires until September 1st to proofread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpp Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I think its pretty clear... a new day starts at midnight (00:00 on a 24hr clock). One minute after 11:59p.m (23:59) on Aug 31, the time switches to 12a.m (midnight), and simultaneously the date switches to Sep 1. By saying "before 12am Sep 1", they are saying it is due before the month of September begins. In case that wasn't clear: Aug 31- 11:00pm+ 1hr= Sep 1-12:00am Sep 1 11:00pm+1 hr= Sep 2-12:00am if you submit on Sep 1, say at 9am (09:00), it will be late (past 12am, 00:00).

lemons22 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Also when you save your info on the application, it says this: "Your application has been saved and you can go back until 12 midnight ADT on September 1, 2013 to review, change or submit this application." Meaning you have until 11:59pm on Sept 1st to change things, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpp Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks for letting us know! I guess Carolyn never had a chance to get back my e-mail . yes, good to know. although I think it could have been a lot clearer...I still stand by that midnight on sept 1 should mean that its due 11:59pm Aug 31. I emailed admissions about a week and a half ago (about another issue) and never got a response either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
