Applying to College
1

<p>Hey, since this Sunday is the first and a lot of colleges have a Jan 1st deadline, do you think it'd be okay for me to send my application out on Jan 2nd since the post office is closed?</p>

<p>Nitpicky question, I know, but any imput is welcome.</p>

<p>Send it Saturday...</p>

<p>Check and see if you have a post office in your area that is open on Sunday. For instance, in Houston the post office at the airport is open 24/7.</p>

<p>Will schools care if you send it Jan 2?..will you be penalized? i'm wondering the same thing..</p>

<p>I am not going to have them done until Sunday afternoon so I am lucky that I am sending all of mine online.</p>

<p>They would almost defineately accept your app. if it is postmarked on the 2nd but if you have it done I would defineately send it in on Saturday...</p>

<p>I think the post office will be closes on Monday too???
I believe this is because of the Sunday holiday, state gets monday off.?. I could be wrong though</p>

<p>Uh. If the deadline is 1/1, then you gotta send it by or before 1/1. That means, if your post office is closed on 1/1, then send it the day before (as I am doing). I found out that the post office is closed on Monday as well here (1/2), so I have to mail pretty much at least half of my stuff tomorrow.</p>

<p>Luckily, I'm only sending supplementary material by mail, not the apps themselves. I'm doing the apps themselves online, so I have a ickle more time to do things.</p>

<p>yah the only thing I have to send get to the post office before they close tomorrow at 12pm is my resume... Thank God. It is all set too... All that I have to do is print out copies and pop them in some manilla envelopes.</p>

<p>i would check the website for your schools... alot of them seem to be changing the deadline to the 3rd b/c post offices are closed on the 1st & 2nd. that might give you a little more time...</p>

<p>:O Really? What colleges do you know are changing the deadline dates, carpecollege?</p>

<p>Brown has their deadline date listed at Jan 3rd.</p>
