<p>So that they receive it after the may first deadline? Will they accept me?</p>
<p>Why are you waiting until the 30th?</p>
<p>Schools generally have a deadline of receiving the deposit by May 1st NOT in the mail by May 1st. I don’t think that most will reject a student they wanted for one day difference as to do so will also mean they are rejecting your deposit, something not appealing to schools. That said, I would not mess around with it. Obviously, you’re thinking of messing around unsure about your status and would rather not have the check cashed.</p>
<p>Why would you risk it?</p>
<p>I am just wondering. Of course, it may not be April 30th (4/28 or 4/49). The point is that will a college accept me if they received my letter after the deadline.</p>
<p>My college just says it needs to be POSTMARKED by May 1st…</p>
<p>Personally - I would fedex it if you are waiting that late. What if it gets lost in the mail? What if you don’t realize it has been lost in the mail for a week or two? Why take a chance?</p>
<p>Plus I would email/call Admissions and tell them that you accept.</p>
<p>If you need to wait to the last day, not to worry. There is next day FedEx and next day Express mail and etc. Send it that way. You’ll have a tracking number. It costs less than $20 – a small price to pay for a no hassle experience.</p>
