Yeah they will anyways zoom it so font size can be 10 too

I called and the round 2 deadline was at 9pm PST (11:59pm EST) and their portal shows EST, so the deadline was at midnight EST, not California time

Yeah :/ don't know why they'd do that

What to do now Shall I mail them? It's totally their fault🫩

That's your best bet https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/ultramsgmedia/2026/1/104644/09f926b778c5a7fb89a8e8c2c59c0a0d You can send this too maybe? and say you were misled by someone on Admissions Committee

I would not worry tbh Payment providers are usually based in the east coast They don't care as long as you submit
