<p>Is the application due before this date or can I still turn it in the 10th, like for the UCs?</p>
<p>Also, if I'm sending in some scholarship applications via mail, do they have to be at USC by the 10th or just postmarked by the 10th?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>"It is your responsibility to ensure that all required application materials are sent to USC by the posted deadlines. Applications postmarked after the deadlines listed above are not guaranteed a priority review. In no case will applications be returned or application fees refunded."</p>
<p>The USC website says "postmarked" on their deadline page. Good luck!

<p>My advice, ask your counselor if they can pack and prepare the transcripts and recs into their envelope and seal it. Now instead of them mailing it, you just take it to the post office and pay the postage and ask them to postmark it in front of you. I told the guy what it was and he was pretty courtious when I told him the situation. He went on to give it to one of the workers (I think his tag said supervisor or something to that effect) and said "Jen (or whatever her name was) can take this young man's package and start processing it immediately?" One of the rare good experiences at the post office lol.</p>
<p>OK so just to make sure, if I go to the post office tomorrow and mail the scholarship forms, everything should be fine, right?</p>
<p>"Scholarship forms?" If you mean you are sending the admissions application and you want to send it by the due date of Dec. 10., yes, that would be fine. (If you are referring to some other scholarship form, sorry, I'm not sure what that is.) </p>
<p>But I think if I were sending the app between now and Dec. 10, I'd get a receipt from the post office (to prove postmark.)</p>
<p>No I was sending in forms for a Jewish scholarship, I'm sending the application online.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help, I'm glad I got that cleared up.</p>
<p>For the USC scholarship deadline which is "by" December 10th, does anyone know 100% if tha means i must submit my online application "BEFORE" December 10th? or does it mean that i can submit it "ON" December 10th. Thanks so much, this is really important</p>
<p>It's by meaning that it's the due date, lol.</p>
<p>so, if I submit it on tomorrow, i will still be applying for the scholarship deadline?</p>
<p>I believe you're fine if you submit tomorrow. See post #2 above.</p>
<p>thank you
they should take the word "by" out of the english vocabulary</p>
<p>There was mixed information on the USC website regarding received by/postmarked by, especially on the Cinematic Arts/Screenwriting site. Luckily, I called and they said postmarked. Still, I Fedex'd it overnight on the 10th just to be sure.</p>
