The problem is that you're converting it into a Date object which doesn't have any time component and then converting it back into a Time object. Instead, you can use either

Time.strptime("07/28/2017 11:56 PM", '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M %p')
# => 2017-07-28 23:56:00 -0700

or

DateTime.strptime("07/28/2017 11:56 PM", '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M %p')
# => Fri, 28 Jul 2017 23:56:00 +0000

and you call call to_time on the DateTime if you'd like

DateTime.strptime("07/28/2017 11:56 PM", '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M %p').to_time
# => 2017-07-28 23:56:00 +0000
