<p>I have an application that is due December first. But here's the problem: the woman who prints transcripts at my school got really behind and says that mine might not be done until Monday. Monday is December first. Would it be okay for me to FedEx the transcripts on Monday, provided my actual app is in that day? Thanks!</p>
<p>Most schools use the date as a general guideline and accept applications a week or two after the deadline. You might want to contact the college, explain the situation, and ask whether Dec. 1 is a strict deadline. I'm sure you won't have to FedEx it.</p>
