<p>The deadline for NYU admissions is January 15, however, someone else stated that there was an extension but I don't see this mentioned anywhere...</p>

<p>I'm planning to send my letters of recs, transcripts, etc. on January 12 so it should be postmarked on that day. But on the important deadlines page, it states that:</p>

<p>"Applications postmarked after these deadlines will be considered only if space remains in the school/college and program desired. Credentials (transcripts, test scores, letters of recommendation, etc.) received well after the application deadline will put you at a disadvantage in the admissions process."</p>

<p>It would take about 3-4 days max to get the letter from where I live to NY (I'm guessing that's in business days), which would be a bit over the deadline. Would I still be subjected to "disadvantage" in the admissions decisions?</p>

<p>One more thing: I need to send in a financial statement since I am international. Do I do it now or after they tell me to?</p>

<p>I'm not sure about the financial statement thing, but I'm sure that if your materials arrive only a few days late, they wouldn't mind. I think they mean "well after the deadline" as in weeks after the deadline.</p>

<p>Also, I would put all your materials in one package and send it with Fedex and delivery confirmation if you can (I don't trust usps).</p>

<p>why not usps?</p>

<p>they lost my transcript twice for a summer program that I was applying to, but I guess if you want to take the risk go ahead.</p>
