Issue with Deadlines

<p>I'm applying to Reed, and (stupidly) forgot that today was a national holiday. I was able to submit the common portion of it - as well as the payment - online, but the supplement and writing sample need to be mailed. Obviously, it will not be postmarked today, and I know that some colleges are stricter than others about deadlines. Does anyone have any advice?</p>

<p>Email your adcom rep and ask about the Reed policy. I would expect them to be reasonable when deadline dates fall on days when the Post Office is not open; even the IRS is reasonable in this regard!</p>
