by / on or before
Filled-up applications must be reached (to) the Management by / on or before July 25, 2008.
Do "by" and "on or before" express the same meaning? And is the preposition "to" necessary here? Thanks

"to" is not needed, in fact is incorrect. by = no later than this date on = on this date / before = before this date. "on or before" = you have up to this date to get this application in.
- "to" is not needed, in fact is incorrect.
- by = no later than this date on = on this date / before = before this date.
- "on or before" = you have up to this date to get this application in.
- I would say they are virtually the same in intent.
