Transcript and Recs came back!

Applying to College
1

<p>Well the envelope that I sent to Rice had my transcript and recs in it.
When I was in Korea (on holiday), I sent it postmarked before the deadline.</p>

<p>And I wrote my return address (my home address) on the back.</p>

<p>And when I came back from Korea, I got my envelope.</p>

<p>The dumb postoffice people read my return address (which was on the back of the envelope) and sent it to my return address!</p>

<p>The deadline was 10th Jan and now it's 21st Jan and I'm sitting here with my envelope postmarked 9th Jan.</p>

<p>If I send it in tomorow, will Rice accept it? Should I keep the postmark sticker on it or something? Should I write a letter explaining this? Has this happend to anyone else before?! :(</p>

<p>I'd send the whole thing back to Rice (including the envelope with the postmark on it) with a nice letter explaining to them what happened. Make sure you keep a photocopy of the envelope with the postmark on it (in case you need ammunition later).</p>

<p>It shouldn't make much of a difference; I'm sure they're used to things like that happening.</p>

<p>Email them, most probably they'll accept it- they may ask you to fax the recs though..</p>

4

<p>Put the whole thing, including the envelope with the postmark, along with a cover letter, in a new Fedex or Priority Mail envelope and send it off ASAP.</p>

<p>wow </p>

<p>Doesn't look good, but you could try doing that.</p>

<p>you will be fine, they are still filing stuff</p>

<p>send it by fax and by overnight if you have copies and why are you sending your transcript anyway yourself.</p>

<p>doesn't your school do that? they want official ones anyway</p>

<p>if you go to fed ex now, they will have it monday morning, fo NOT take it out of the envelope, keep it sealed</p>

<p>It will be fine</p>

<p>Thanks guys!
My counselor shoved all my things including my transcript in one envelope and sealed it himself and told me to send it..</p>

<p>Im thinking of faxing the recs and transcripts but that would take away the confidentuality...
I'll most likely mail it in with a nice letter of explaination.
Thanks everyone :)</p>
