<p>For final deadlines, do schools have to have all your stuff by that date? Or does your stuff just have to be postmarked/sent by the date?</p>
<p>I literally just found another school that I really like, and they're accepting applications until March 1st. I submitted the application tonight, and sent my transcripts and SATs (rush) today. Should I be okay?</p>
<p>USUALLY they mean that something must be postmarked by the due date. But not always (my D had some scholarship applications that had to ARRIVE by the deadline). Most colleges state it explicity on their websites or application instructions, but if they don't, then always give them a call to confirm.</p>
<p>Yeah, it usually means you need materials postmarked by that date. I'm pretty sure that you'll be fine. If you really wanted to make sure, you could always call the office of admissions.</p>
