<p>I don't think I will be able to obtain a fee waiver from my counselor before Jan 1st. Will the university accept them postmarked after the deadline even if I state on CommonApp that I will paying through a fee waiver?</p>
<p>Here's an email response from Stanford:</p>
<p>"Deadline: The Common Application, Stanford Supplement, and application
fee (or fee waiver request) must be submitted online no later than
11:59 PM Pacific Time, January 1, 2009. Please note that after you
have successfully submitted your application, the submission date/time
used by The Common Application will be Eastern Time, three hours later
than Pacific Time."</p>
<p>Thanks! Good luck to all applying there :)</p>
