<p>I sent out my application for the University Scholars Program on Friday, I know I was procrastinating. Furthermore, I was so dumb that I didn't use Express or courier. They said that everything must be received by January 15. But mine won't arrive until next Tuesday or Wednesday. Will they throw my application into trash can? I am really worried. </p>
<p>By the way, will it make a difference if the letter of recommendation is on time? </p>
<p>Please help! I am desperate now. If my Asian parents know that, they will probably kill me.</p>
<p>Caaaalm dooooown. Really. As with the scholarship apps, the University Scholars stuff just needs to be there by the 17th. That...depends on the postal service. I hope you did FedEx overnight, to be on the safe side.</p>
<p>Also, recommendations can come a few days later. Note, not too much later, just a few days.</p>
<p>Ok, just read the edited version. I'm with hazmat below. Overnight in a copy tomorrow. You just need it there Tuesday. I called and asked them about that.</p>
<p>I called and asked too: the 17th is okay. i wonder if they were flooded with phone calls about that? that's pretty funny...an entering class full of procrastinators</p>
