Snow Complicating Transcript Delivery?

<p>Hi everyone, I have applied to a few schools that wanted everything sent in by the 1st of February. The only problem is, my school has been closed because of snow and MLK Jr. Day for the past few days (Friday, Monday, and today, Tuesday). The counselors at my school say that it takes up to 15 days for everything to be "processed" and sent out. This means that my transcripts may not arrive at these schools until the 3rd. Is there any way I could possibly let these schools know that there were complications due to inclement weather?</p>

<p>I'm kind of panicking because one of the schools I really wanted to apply to, Auburn (which needs the transcript by the 1st), had problems with its application system and so they weren't accepting applications until today, the 18th -- now when I try to pay the application fee, the website isn't loading on my computer, so it's just driving me insane right now. </p>

<p>Any words of encouragement or suggestions?</p>

<p>15 days? wow, you must have a huge school or something 'cus ours gets sent out the same day or the next day…</p>

<p>As long as the transcript is postmarked by the 1st, i think itd be fine, especially if its late due to weather, they’d understand</p>
