<p>Or just postmarked by then?</p>
<p>They said they want tax return, cornell Financial Aid applicaiton, and CSS profile postmarked by January 1st. It is outrageous because common application website, as well as College Board itself states that the deadline for cornell financial aid is FEBRUARY 11. I am thinking about sending my tax forms and application but I will not be able to complete CSS profile without 2008 taxes. They ask me to estimate but I am not going to sit there and do some guesswork if the Deadline is in February. It is so irresponsible for them to do that. </p>
<p>At the same time, their website says that although that is the deadline, they are going to process fin.aid. applications even if received after the deadline. It is very confusing.</p>
