<p>Pepperdine takes a 2week-ish break for Christmas.
It stated on their site that their admissions office would be closed until the 2nd and that nothing would be processed until then.
There are only 3 days between that day and the deadline date.
My application was submitted on Christmas day and since it takes 2 weeks to process, does that mean if my application isn't processed in time, then that it just won't be considered at all? My letter of recommendation was submitted a month prior to the deadline and everything has been done regarding payments.
I haven't gotten my campuswide ID and until then I can't submit my personal letter of rec.
So should I just submit my personal recommendation through mail and hope that it gets through to them?</p>
<p>My heart is bursting out of anxiousness. Someone please respond.</p>
<p>I could be completely wrong about this, but I believe all of your application materials just need to be postmarked by the deadline, meaning that as long as the university receives all of your things and sees that it was put in the mail on time before the deadline, you should be fine! Also, as I’m currently applying to Pepperdine, it took quite a few days for them to respond to me with my campuswide ID and Wavenet information, so don’t sweat it! Just make sure you’ve sent everything in the mail before January 5th! :)</p>
<p>It also says on their website that you can mail in letters of recommendation physically if you need to, though it is not preferred, so if you cannot send it in electronically, just mail it!</p>
<p>Everything has to be postmarked by the due date. If they get turned in before that, you’re fine. Read the admissions page on the web site.</p>
