Deposit due May 1st or just postmarked by then?

<p>Whoops, my mom forgot to send in my deposit yesterday. I could turn it in on Monday, when post offices open again, but I'm not sure if it will reach the WashU admissions office in time. Does anyone know if the May 1 deadline is the strict deposit deadline, or if it's just the postmark deadline?</p>

<p>Postmarked is my understanding, you may wish to call admissions to double check and be prepared to overnight it if necessary, but I a pretty sure 5/1 is the postmark date.</p>

<p>on the acceptance letter, it says postmarked by 5/1</p>

<p>"To accept this offer of admission and ensure a place in our freshman class, please take some time to review the information in this packet, complete the enclosed enrollment form, and return it to our office no later than May 1, 2007."</p>

<p>That's all mine says...? It doesn't mention postmarked by 5/1</p>

<p>When in doubt, fedex.</p>

<p>I spoke to someone in admissions Friday, and she said postmarked would be fine. I specifically asked if it would affect housing priority or anything else, and she said no. They do prefer them asap, so Ds will go out tomorrow morning.</p>
