<p>^supposedly about 3weeks.
This year we were away and either packet gotten lost or never sent on time.
I waited, then first week of Feb went to the office and got one for him.
last year it was postmarked Jan 27th. the confirmation letter they sent after initial app is done states;
end of Jan
if not received by Feb 11th, contact admission
thou like the case of Moomin, it takes way longer to get far away. You have to have US mailing address, then that person have to re-send to over seas.
Also I noted this year, due date was “have to be in by”
last year RD was postmarked by midnight of the due date, if I remember correctly.
I did noted few more rules that gotten stingy-er, both in application and for students. There might be some bumping of no-nonsense-ness for real, I used to hear from student teacher he met at CE classes
“it is hard to fail, like, you don’t show up anymore for one…”</p>
