<p>Dear ____,</p>
<p>Thank you for your interest in applying to Northwestern University. Our records show that you have started a freshman application but have yet to complete it. We are unable to process your application until we receive all the required information.</p>
<p>The Regular Decision deadline was January 1, but since you have already begun the application process we are extending the deadline to Friday, January 12, 2007. We urge you to complete your application as soon as possible, and no later than the extended deadline date.</p>
<p>I realized that colleges would extend deadlines for people in Colorado with all that snow and becase the Ford funeral kept the post office closed on the 2nd, but an 11 day extention for someone like me? This was a mass email so they obviously want everyone to submit an app if they have started.</p>
