<p>so do we have to send it by the 16th??!?!</p>

<p>hello, if you can send it by the 16th, send it by the 16th, or at least postmark it by the 16th. But Swat is very flexible. I remember writing that check well into January (yes, January) last year. Last year, the deadline was extended and my son applied after Jan 1.</p>

<p>But don't make it January for yourself and don't count on the deadline being extended this January.</p>

<p>Hey!! I didn't know that - confirming - the supplement has to be sen by the 16th?</p>

<p><em>confused</em></p>

<p>Hmm okay... I checked. Dec 15 deadline. I did not realize that earlier... is it okay if I sent the supplement now and the essay later with the rest of my application?</p>

<p>I think you should thank me for the info :)</p>

<p>anyways their website says the stuff should reach them by 1st Jan, so thats why you have to postmark it by 15th (which is preferred)</p>

<p>So I'll be sending it around 20th Dec</p>

<p>astrix, they are flexible. But send it in without delay now that you know about it.</p>

<p>"is it okay if I sent the supplement now and the essay later with the rest of my application?"</p>

<p>Yes, just send the supplement and the application fee ASAP (postmarked by Dec.15 is what they want). "Why S.?" essay can be sent with the rest of your application.</p>

<p>nngmm, that's my second deadline question you're fielding. thanks ;) (i sent the scores)</p>

<p>hey astrix..the site says "preferably by Dec 15th", although they will accept the supplement alongwith the commonapp by jan 1</p>

<p>"Although we prefer that supplements arrive by the above preferred dates, applications and supplements will be accepted together by the application DEADLINE"
is this the same as postmark? better get it confirmed.</p>

<p>I got my supplement to the post office yesterday, right before closure, I was so happy! I know it's just the preferred deadline but it felt so good...</p>
