Postmarked by or received by Jan. 4th?

<p>I was under the impression that January 4th was the new deadline for getting your application POSTMARKED, but then a friend told me that that was the date that Yale was supposed to receive my app. Which one is right? If you know, please reply ASAP! (And can the art supplement be sent in the same package as the rest of my app?) Thanks!</p>

<p>Yale hasn't updated the 31st date for recieiving slides...so to be on the safe side, assume that they need your slides by the 31st.</p>

<p>"Holiday Closing and Application Deadline </p>

<p>"The admissions office will close for the holiday at 5:00 PM on Wednesday, December 22 and will re-open at 8:30 AM on Monday, January 3. We anticipate that it will take us quite some time after January 3 to respond to the electronic mail messages that are sent while we are closed. If you have questions during this period, we encourage you to consult the application instructions.</p>

<p>"In order to accommodate students who may encounter problems submitting their application online over the holiday, we will extend the deadline for online submission, and the postmark deadline for paper submission, until January 4.</p>

<p>"Happy Holidays!"</p>

<p>yeah...but check out the page about supplements...</p>

<p>The page says nothing about art supplements, but since they were already supposed to be due on the 4th, I'm guessing they still are. Call them to find out, or just send them in along with your application.</p>

<p>Art supplements are not due on the 4th and never were: </p>

<p>"Supplementary materials must be postmarked by November 1 for Single-Choice Early Action candidates, December 31 for Regular Decision candidates, or March 1 for transfer candidates. These materials will not be returned. "</p>

<p>Did you say the deadline is Jan 4th!!! Hallelujah! And Im not even Christian....Does that postmark deadline include the School Report & School Report Supplement?</p>

<p>YAY! I just read this on the Yale website too!! Hurray for Yale!! It really is the best school in the world!!! :D</p>

<p>oh i love yale !!!!!!!</p>

<p>Heh, good news :) Now I must check to see if any other schools are doing something similar so I could procrastinate more ;)</p>

<p>are ANY other schools doing a similar thing? extending the deadline for like 5 days?</p>

<p>krux, what's " School Report Supplement?"<br>
"Did you say the deadline is Jan 4th!!! Hallelujah! And Im not even Christian....Does that postmark deadline include the School Report & School Report Supplement?"</p>

<p>Its a double sided form thats meant to be sent along with the the School Report - i.e. its a 'Supplement' to the School Report. Stupid huh? Its just a bunch of more evaluations for your counselor to fill in, along with his address & details (again!) and all your standardized test scores. Utterly pointless.....But thats just me.</p>
