I messed up really bad...too late to apply?

<p>@jinx123445, if you really want to go to Rice, apply to Rice. Read the response they gave to you, and consider that they will give some leeway to your school in supplying their information. Specifically, they said:</p>

<br>

<blockquote>
<p>you must submit all required application materials by the posted deadline…</p>
</blockquote>

<br>

<p>However, when it comes to the supporting documents provided by others to support your application, notice how they change the wording:</p>

<br>

<blockquote>
<p>Please make sure they submit their information to Rice as soon as possible, as their deadline to submit is January 1st.</p>
</blockquote>

<br>

<p>This is very likely a “soft” deadline. As long as you submit all your application materials on time, the test scores (sent directly), transcripts, and LORs can likely arrive a few days (or weeks) late. Don’t let your fate hang on how you interpreted the words of the individual who answered your query.</p>

<p>@ItsJustSchool‌ I suppose you’re right, maybe I did misinterpret their response. I’ll go ahead and apply and hope for the best. Thanks!</p>
