<p>I just want to be sure, when they say postmarked Jan.1, do they mean you should hit the "submit" button by 11:59 pm Jan. 1 eastern time or 11:59 Dec. 31 eastern time?</p>
<p>Jan 1, but obviously, try and do it before 11:59..</p>
<p>yeah that’s true, but if you send it with snail mail it should be way earlier than that.</p>
<p>I was actually wondering about this, as well! Definitely not a stupid question … haha</p>
<p>Yeah, hehe, this is true LaLa. But who knows with my procrastinating tendencies ;).</p>
<p>JT, Jan 1 is the postmark date not recieved by</p>
<p>And cawcaw, I know I am such a procrastinator too!</p>
<p>Schools always mention how they won’t penalize you if you send your application in later (as long you do so before the deadline) … Since they read them in the order in which they are received, is this true?</p>
<p>i was wondering the same thing ;)</p>
<p>Who knows. I hope not. I’m pretty sure all of mine will be last minute. (Procrastination is like a disease.)</p>
<p>Well, I’ve sent in 9 … It’s just getting the last few out that has been so difficult. I am working on my Why Penn? essay now, and I know Why Penn? but I don’t know how to find the words to convey Why Penn? haha</p>
