Payment by check question

[jijirose]

<p>Good evening! </p>

<p>Okay, as you know... credit card payments are processed slowly by the Common App. I do not want to risk this method, since I am close to the deadlines (yeah I know...procrastination xD). However, I noticed that it is possible to pay by "Mail Check". If I mail my checks and postmark them by tomorrow, will it be too late? I know some schools accept postmark deadlines when application materials are mailed.</p>

<p>Thank you very much! </p>

<p>I would recommend the echeck option. You obviously have checks and a checking account so just choose that option. It works just as well and payments are processed within a day or two. Plus unlike a credit card you can check to see if the money has been taken out of your account. It has worked great for 8 of my schools.</p>
