This was sent in an email to all students on our mailing list. Here's the news in case you didn't get it.
Each year, students ask us what is the latest time they can submit their Early Action applications online. Is it midnight on November 1, Central Standard Time?
So here's the deal: you have until midnight on November 1 -- anywhere in the world.
Come back and check here to see if it's still November 1, 2007 somewhere around the globe.
If you are submitting your application after midnight in your local time, e-mail Libby (eap@uchicago.edu) and tell her under which time zone you're applying. She will be awake, making sure everything runs smoothly until it's November 2 everywhere. Supporting documents, such as teacher recommendations and the secondary school and transcript report, should be in our office by November 8.
P.S. One of the last places on earth that it is November 1, 2007 is Baker Island.
P.P.S. If you're mailing your application, be sure it's postmarked no later than November 1.
P.P.P.S. Relax! The Dean of Admissions will not be reading applications until after he counts all of his trick-or-treating candy, so do not fret if you need to turn in the application on Baker Island time.
And here's a generic copy of the Halloween update that we sent on Monday.
