In terms of the time of day, does it matter when I submit secondaries?

This is a silly question, but if I were to submit a secondary at 2:30 AM local time, would adcoms make negative assumptions about my time management/work habits?

So far I've been hesitant to submit anything at that hour. I just wait until late morning/early afternoon, though I'm curious.

Won't lie, I was making fun of you in my head but then I remembered I looked up this exact thing a couple weeks ago, lol

Don't hate on me lol.

Like when I TA'd classes and graded assignments back in college, I would silently question why students were submitting things at 3:23 AM. Granted that was more out of concern, especially if it was a regular occurrence.

This is pathological overthinking. Stop it.

Got it. I was just erring on the side of caution.

You could be submitting from an internet cafe in Thailand. (Yes, this happened.) We don't care about the time stamp as long as you meet the deadline.

Not a bad question tbh lol. I would respect the grind personally...
