Does anyone else think this is illogical?

<p>This doesn't particularly apply to me since I'm doing most of my college application materials online, but how in the world are people who are applying via post going to get their things turned in?</p>

<p>The Post Office was closed on Sunday, as it always is. </p>

<p>The Post Office is closed today for New Year's, and most colleges' RD applications are due today.</p>

<p>Tomorrow has been declared a national day of mourning for President Ford, so the Post Office will again be closed tomorrow.</p>

<p>I guess anyone who had mail to send had to ship it Saturday!</p>

<p>Whoa, totally didn't know about the President Ford thing. I was wondering why the post office flag was at half-staff on Friday. Well, some colleges are extending deadlines (Duke moved up to Jan. 12 receipt deadline). Anyway, if you're submitting online, this shouldn't be a problem, and if you're talking about mailing recs and transcripts, don't worry...the postmark deadlines for those are more elastic.</p>

<p>You should have been more organised then, shouldn't you! I hope anyone who has not managed to submit their application by mail because of this is rejected.</p>

<p>The post office at the airport is always open :)</p>

<p>Awaiting-college, calm down.</p>

<p>THEN go consult the psychiatrist.</p>

<p>hahaha =) .</p>

<p>lol awaiting-college, who gave you the crown? this is very amusing.</p>

<p>if anyone doesn't get into college, it'll be you, since you lack compassion.</p>

<p>awaiting-college's initial comment:</p>

<p>Humorous: 2
Offensive/Inappropriate: 7</p>

<p>abhishiv's response:</p>

<p>Humorous: 8
Offensive/Inappropriate: 4</p>

<p>There are my ratings. Hope you find them of use.</p>

<p>And now I'm wishing I hadn't even applied to Wooster, because the hassle of applying for scholarships - without which there's no way I'm going there - is maddening. The Music/Theater/etc apps were supposed to be RECEIVED by today? Dangit, I am so STUPID!</p>

11

<p>ratings i agree with .... stay calm, mellow out college admission is not the end of the world
we have now done what we can and now must sit back and enjoy senior year while waiting for decisions
good luck to all</p>

<p>Hahaha, this is really rather humorous.</p>

<p>And I admire awaiting-college's ability to get things done. She (?) has already started working on applications for the class of 2012...very early.</p>

<p>As I start/finish my Yale application on December 31st...I'm not one to talk about procrastination. But I guess if I am rejected it's probably just because I wasn't organized enough, huh? :)</p>

<p>Humorous: 0</p>

<p>All of you need to chill
awaiting-college he/she was speaking hypathectically
Don't get steamed
Still it was "really rather humorous''-[thanks j07]</p>

15

<p>My two cents - that didn't even make sense, and those weren't the comments I was referring to. (That is, if you were responding to me?)</p>

16

<p>oh yeah and brune
it is illogical
but go to the next airport you see-[thanks raza999]</p>

17

<p>I recieved an express mail package today new years, transcripts i needed..so go get express mail at the airport...never give up!</p>
