<p>ok i submitted the rest of my app online, and i was going to send out the teacher recs and secondary school report TODAY (i know i’m an idiot)…BUT i did NOT know that the post office is closed on jan 1st… what do i do!!! the earliest i can get them postmarked is probably jan 2nd or even jan 3rd. but penn said no later than jan 1st! is there anything i can do? fedex? ANYTHING!!! HELP ME!!!</p>

<p>its ok...just send them out the 3rd (they'll be closed tomorrow too bc its sunday). they won't mind; they have to process mounds of applications anyway and so they won't notice one thing that arrives a little later.</p>

<p>thanks twink1e. are you sure? i really don't want to be REJECTED just because i didn't sent my teacher/counselor recs before jan 1st!!!</p>

<p>Drive There</p>

<p>driving there is actually a good idea... if you live close enough. don't worry about getting automatically rejected. there's nothing you can do now so just breathe :-) think of it this way: what else can you do but send it late (if you don't live near penn)? there's a slight automatic rejection chance if you send it... but there's a 100% rejection chance if you don't send it at all. so don't worry so much and just send it.</p>

<p>i wish i could drive there. but unfortunately for me, i live in a faraway land called canada.</p>

<p>awww i'm sorry. but like i said, just take a chance. what else can u do but send it?</p>

8

<p>They won't care if the recs come a bit late. Don't worry, just mail it on monday.</p>

<p>for all they know, its the teachers fault. dont worry about it. send it the 3rd and you will be fine.
i'm sending my supplementary materials late, if it helps.</p>

<p>hey hey hey... there you go! that's a good excuse pineappleblondie!</p>

11

<p>when it absolutely positively has to be there overnight - just send it out fedex/dhl/ups
they are open today
if you fedex overnight the stuff on monday it will beat whatever was sent on friday</p>

12

<p>yeah, you should be fine.</p>
