Due dates

Applying to College
1

<p>I am having a major permanent migraine/heart palpitations right now. The red tape my school has and the not international student-friendly Common Application is killing me and making me miss my Occidental College application due date.</p>

<p>I have submitted my online app, but was told by the principal he would fill the forms in as my “guidance counselor” (we don’t have one here) only after talking to my teachers. He said that he will send the supplementary materials on Monday but the deadline is today. I have e-mailed the adcoms. Would they be a bit flexible? January 10 is a Saturday after all and post offices don’t open today here.</p>

<p>Another question: when the SAT score reports are due say, January 15, does it have to arrive on January 15 or can I submit it online by January 15? I’m worried because I haven’t sent all of them yet. I should, but I’m waiting until my dad comes back tomorrow.</p>

<p>Thanks. Aggggggghh.</p>

<p>Most colleges are a bit flexible in terms of due dates. Anyways, it’s not your fault, it’s the principal’s for not sending the forms on time. As for the SAT score reports, I think it’s by January 15, but I’m pretty sure colleges are flexible on that too, so if I were you I’d wait, but it’s not that difficult. You can try sending them by yourself first.</p>
