<p>So, the regular decision deadline is the 2nd of January. I found out that the postal service will not be operating on that day, due to the late President Ford's public funeral/memorial whatsits. Given that this was unexpected, is it likely that the deadline will be unofficially extended a few days? I mailed my app out today and I'm not sure what's going to happen.</p>
<p>As long as your app is postmarked by Jan. 2, you should be fine.</p>
<p>I dunno anything about a grace period, but as I recall I remember seeing in several places that said an app. had to be IN THEIR OFFICE by Jan. 2, not postmarked as many have claimed. But like I said, I dunno about them forgiving because of the no-post thing, so u might still have a shot. Good luck</p>
