Cornell Essay Supplement

It says this supplement has to be postmarked by Jan 1. I put it in the mail Dec. 31, but I’m pretty sure the post office is closed for the Holidays. Will Cornell still accept the essay supplement if it’s postmark a couple days late?

<p>see, i was wondering the same exact thing. i mailed one thing before 4pm(time my PO closes) but then forgot something and mailed something else at 9pm. i'm thinking the first thing i mailed will be okay, but i'm not sure about the second since they had already closed. then i got to thinking again...everything mailed by tonight should be postmarked by jan 1. i have no real idea, but i think i'm gonna visit the PO tomorrow just to make sure.</p>

<p>isnt the post office closed today (sunday) ?</p>

<p>yep...........they are.....unfortunately</p>

<p>so what will happen if i mail my cornell essays on monday, 48 hour delivery? will they postmark it jan 3?</p>

<p>i just saw on the cornell website that they extended the deadline to jan 10 bc of the holiday postal mishap :)</p>

<p>phew! that takes a load off. Thanks adamo.</p>

<p>where does it say that?</p>

<p>n/m, just found it... that message should have been on the admissions homepage or something...</p>

<p>Well, actually some post offices ARE open on Sundays. I sent about erm..6 of my apps on a Sunday before it was due, heh. And well, now it's over but many post offices were open 24 hrs BECAUSE it was a holiday. But anyway, good luck and get 'em done!</p>
