<p>Hi busy people.
I realise many of us are in bad emotional state these days, But i live in the middle of nowhere and internet is the only one i can ask.
I have 9 supplements to do.
And all deadlines are 1st jan.
I am applying for fee waivers and i have got my counsellor to write an official letter for the schoos (as required) .
This letter will be mailed with the school forms by 1st Jan. The common app doest let the payments done until application or the supplement is submitted.
I wanted to ask if its fine to submit my common app and supplements online before 1st jan and send the school forms + the fee waiver letter by mail by 1st jan?</p>
<p>Most deadlines are postmarked date, as in you're fine as long as you SEND it on the day.</p>
<p>However, I would check as some colleges' deadlines are not postmarked, but due date deadlines, in which case they would have to be in by Jan 1st.</p>
<p>The post office we had planned to use closed early on Dec 31, so watch that - we had to drive to a different post office with a later closing time.</p>
<p>this isn't really related... but i hate the fact that college deadlines are all during the holiday season. </p>
<p>how convenient that when people are on break and are most likely to finish up their apps, colleges completely shut down communication for 3 weeks.</p>
<p>I COMPLETELY agree with you, blu_g8orade!
Why don't colleges just make the deadlines in mid-January...
to answer your question SiraH, I'm sure it's fine to mail it on January 1, but just check all of the colleges websites to be sure.</p>
<p>Question relating to the topic:</p>
<p>I guess my counselor was not aware about the CB fee waivers. I emailed her about them last week and have yet to receive an email. Do colleges accept fee waivers postmarked after their deadlines? I can't find any information about it anywhere.</p>
