how strict are deadlines?

yea…a bunch of my apps are due november 30, and the school wants a 2 week processing time, so i gave them my stuff on the 15th but i didnt realize that they meant that the days we have off for thanksgiving break don’t count…or something…anyway, now none of my apps will get there on time…so does that automatically mean i’m out of the running?

<p>I would check with the schools but my thoughts are you should get your app and app fee in and if the teacher recs and the GC rec and transcript are a day or two late it probably won’t make much difference. The schools have so much mail around deadlines that they can’t possibly complete it all. But - you must get the application and fee in on time.</p>

<p>They are not going to stress you about the GC and teachers Recs being late (because that is something out of your control)</p>

<p>As MarylandMom stated, the stuff you are responible for sending the application and fees must get there on time.</p>

<p>naw they aint strict at all
i turned in my payment on movember 1…the day of the deadline
the common app on nov 10
sat scores got there on nov 14
and the teacher recs were in on the 16th
Boston College ppl dont seem to care too much…</p>

<p>submit your stuff by the due date. other stuff can be few days late.</p>

<p>Make sure your parts are submitted on time.</p>
