<p>For the Pogue Scholarship, everything must be "received" by Jan. 5<br>
So it's not the postmarked date, but how long does it take for them to receive/process the applications? For some colleges, they'll need up to two weeks...Does anyone know the time needed for UNC? the word "received is so vague</p>
<p>bump...bump...bump</p>
<p>I don't know if this applies to the Pogue Scholarship, but in general, UNC's deadlines refer to postmark only because it is out of our control how quickly applications can be processed and mail received.</p>
<p>I highly doubt that "received" by Jan 5 means "processed" by Jan 5. If you've sent it in at least a couple of days before, you are almost certainly fine.</p>
