<p>So, I am applying to Bard. It says on the common app that the deadline was today… Today was a holiday, which I didn’t foresee. I thought I’d postmark my supplement (which needs to be mailed) tomorrow, and everything would be fine… However, I didn’t check the school’s website until about ten minutes ago, and found that things had to be postmarked by Saturday the 13th… Am I screwed for life? What should/can I do? How flexible are they…? I’m borderline panicking at the moment. Please help!</p>
<p>You and everyone I know. And me. Seriously it's ridiculous, what if I wasn't even applying online, I'd never know the rules.</p>
<p>Seriously, the whole 'postmarked by' thing is very stressful. . . ugh. I was in a panic last week worrying about the dates//if they were for postmarks or for arriving in the hands of admissions officers.</p>
<p>One of my schools, Hampshire College, is really awesome because it allowed things to be postmarked on the 16th due to the holiday. . . hopefully, you'll be fine.</p>
<p>I ended up mailing it on the 16th as well.</p>
