<p>Are they expecting only your application/supplement? Do they want transcripts/letters of recommendation/etc. by that date?</p>
<p>Unless the college says otherwise, assume they want all of your materials by the deadline and do your best to make sure everything gets there on time. Hopefully, they will be flexible about things you have no control over, like teacher recommendations, or they’ll let you know if something didn’t get there on time so you can re-send it. But it would be really hard for a selective college to make a decision without official transcripts, so those definitely need to be in.</p>
<p>^ What she said. I know they take teacher rec’s after the due date and as well as SAT scores. But get those Scores and Rec’s in before the deadline just so everything is more organized for the colleges.</p>
