Deadline Question!

<p>Let's say a given college gives you a scholarship application deadline for December 1.</p>

<p>Does that mean that they must physically have your application by December 1? Or that your application must be postmarked by atleast December 1?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>usually it means that it needs to be postmarked by December 1, but the policy may vary by school.</p>
