My brother is applying to UChicago and their deadline’s the usual, right? His high school called to say that they can’t guarantee that all of his forms will be sent on time to every college that he’s applying to, because he did not give his counselor enough time to process those forms. That is his fault. But now, what can be done? If he submits electronically the Common App by the deadline, and the school’s paper stuff does not arrive by the deadline, can his app be salvaged? If the school’s paper stuff is late, does it absolutely have to be postmarked by the deadline?

I’m guessing so.
