I cut it close too--3:00 PM the day before I turned 18. If you want Eagle, DON'T cut it close! Being close is going to raise your stress level significantly. You really don't want that. I've been warning some of the younger Scouts I know to start work now so they don't rush.
Actually, at least from my interpretation of National's guidelines, sa long as all the work for your Eagle is done (i.e. merit badges, project, etc...), you can write letters asking for extensions to do all the paperwork- application sign-offs, conferences, Boards of Review, etc... I wouldn't recommend having to wait that long, but I think it's possible.

Two weeks before it was 6 months until my 18th birthday I came up to my Scout master and said, "I want to be an eagle scout." He replied, "But you're not even Life yet!!!" It took a lot of effort but I got it all done for my Life and then got it all done for my Eagle.

IT WAS AMAZING!!! I wouldn't have changed a thing, except maybe not giving my scouters heart attacks.
I do not having anything that even comes close to being that good of a story. That's amazing that you made it- congrats!
