<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I did the Penn app online and sent it in, but my dad just told me that he can’t mail Form 6, the financial aid form, and the signature page until January 3, because there’s no mail on Jan. 2. If it’s postmarked Jan. 3, is that too late? Will my app be rejected right there? Please help!</p>
<p>the earlier the better.</p>
<p>What does that mean?</p>
<p>You should be okay I think. They don't (usually) mind if you're late a day or two in postmark.</p>
<p>That's your punishment for doing everything at the last minute. I'm sure many many people forsaw that the post office will be closed this weekend, and mailed it in earlier.</p>
<p>i just mailed it before 12pm, so it got postmarked for today....but you shud still be okay...call them and tell them what happened on the 3rd</p>
<p>Isn't the financial aid form due in like February?</p>
<p>no...only the business/farm supplement, profile, and fafsa are due in Feb...the financial aid form is due TODAY!!!!</p>
<p>OK. Good luck then, bill_smear.</p>
<p>Shouldn't be the end of the world.</p>
<p>I'm in the same boat. My parents have simply not had the time to sit down together and discuss it. They still don't, really.</p>
<p>I think Penn would understand the situation of the holiday and be fine with it. After all, it's not entirely the student's fault for proscrastinating on a financial aid form. And there are a billion other finaid forms to fill out, so it's not the MOST crucial thing.</p>
<p>Yea, I thank God that my dad's an accountant and can finish these things in a jiffy. :)</p>
<p>My whole app has to be sent the 3rd.</p>
<p>Please don't tell me its my punishment... my apps have been done and I was waiting for a supplement to FedEx it all today. And then FedEx told me they wouldnt pick it up until the 3rd.</p>
<p>Damn it.</p>
<p>is the regular post office open today? i dunno how all of this postage stuff works</p>
<p>Some post offices are open tommorow</p>
<p>The post office was indeed open today, though it's probably closed by now (being Saturday and all).</p>
<p>I don't think I've ever heard of a post office being open on a Sunday, though they will also be closed on Monday, Jan 2nd this year.</p>
<p>its going to take them a few weeks to sort through all the stuff they receive--i doubt they will take the time to check the postmark on each thing, especially if its just a supplementary form</p>
<p>plus, a lot of people are having the same problem this yr and some schools like chicago are actually extending the deadline to the 3rd. it shouldnt be a problem...</p>
<p>So I'm pretty much in the same boat. The CSS PROFILE form looks a lot like the Penn Form 6. Why do they want both? All my other schools don't require financial aid forms til Feb 1 which is why I'm freaking out right now.</p>
<p>They don't want CSS Profile right now.. I think..</p>
