<p>I have a really urgent issue. For some reason the online payment didn't work and now I only have 2 days until the deadline. If I send it by mail now...they probably wouldn't receive it until 5/1(deadline) or after. Does anyone know if it's the postmarked date or the received date? I am totally panicking right now. Thanks!</p>
<p>I recommend that you email your Regional Admissions Officer about this immediately (and be sure to save the response in case there’s any question in the future):</p>
<p>I’d also recommend that if you haven’t yet received a response to your email, you call the Admissions Office first thing on Monday, explain your situation, and document whatever you are told (i.e., write down the name of the person to whom you speak, and what he/she says). </p>
<p>The Admissions Office WANTS you to accept their offer, and I’m confident that they’ll do whatever is necessary to facilitate that.</p>
