Applying to College

<p>How serious is it if you pass in an application late?</p>

<p>For Stanford—</p>

<p>I passed in all of my forms + recs + transcripts a while back and have been working on one form which contains the essay. I always went to the postal office at night, but realized today upon going there that the hours had changed for the holidays so they closed at 6:00!!! ARGH$G@#J$@G#$L#J$@</p>

<p>I don’t know what to do… I am going to cry CRY CRY, I have to send it tomorrow morning and it’ll be a day over… are they just going to discard my application? I Paid… so many good recs… I am going to die :((((((</p>

<p>

Maybe they won’t throw it away, who knows? But turning it in on time is the simplest step, and if an applicant can’t even complete that, then…</p>

<p>Ugh, sorry mate. Must be horrible. :(</p>

<p>freaking hell :frowning: !#$!#</p>

<p>I’m slow, but couldn’t you just submit it online? Or is this a form that it is absolutely necessary to mail in? Different post office, maybe? I don’t know.</p>

<p>someone on the boards here said he submitted his dartmouth app like 3-4 days late and still got in. different schools… but there is still hope!</p>

<p>no harm in sending it especially considering you already paid for the app</p>

<p>Call me now… Send an email to the Dean of Admissions. Make it a good email and explain the situation properly. When I applied to UChic, they had posted a buffer of 8 days which my friend needed to use to send his transcripts. Stanford was on time for me… but dont give up</p>
