<p>So I am doing RD, and I have to send in an official transcript and mid year report. i talked to my counselor, and he said that he can't get either of those to me until after winter break. the rd deadline is january 1st, and i am freaking out.
is anyone else having this problem?'</p>
<p>also i will have to submit a 2014 tax return and w-2 forms, which also won't be ready until after the year is over..... what can i possibly do??</p>
<p>Email the college and ask them if it’s OK if the transcript comes a few days after your application does (which you should still submit by the deadline).</p>
<p>The “hard deadline” of 1/1 for many colleges only require the application and their writing supplement. It is generally okay to send the supporting documents a few days later. </p>
<p>I can’t comment on the transcript but normally a college will ask for 2013 W2 or 1040 for something this early. Look very closely at the Financial Aid instructions. Employers are not even required by law to send W2s until the end of January and most don’t. For EA or ED round th college might ask for 2013 tax return or W2 by the EA/ED deadline but i have never seen a college that required 2014 return by Jan 1st cutoff. Maybe your application is due 1/1 and the financial aid paperwork is due later?</p>
<p>@nnipy56 Most data in RD applications will get submitted after Jan 1st. You’re fine. Your job is to get your app in. Remember: colleges WANT to admit you. You know that, right?</p>
