<p>Well it depends on where you live. If you live west of the Mississippi then you might be fine. BUT if you live on the east side then you might be in trouble. </p>

<p>Did it need to be there by the 13th or post-marked by the 13th?</p>

<p>I assume you’re talking about U. South California and not South Carolina. For California you should be fine. Interstate mail is typically and reliably faster than interstate mail. Maybe you could call the admissions office and tell them that it’s in the mail and should get to them but if it doesn’t then not to discard your appeal when it does? </p>

<p>Best of luck! :)</p>

<p>It should be there by now. I would have done priority mail just in case. Just call and ask.</p>
