Although I don't think that one day will make a huge difference (it'll take more than a day to get back to normal) I also don't see why the deadline shouldn't be extended.

Majority of people submitted their applications and I'm sure many keep editing them (in fact I am right now) but the reality is that the last day editing won't change that much anyways. So if everyone gets an extra day, your chances of getting in will most likely remain nearly unchanged, while the people on the East coast will at least get some kind of a chance to submit the next DropBox or AirBnb.
