I got mine sent in today (after a night of grueling number pumping, Adobe typing, etc). If you didn’t get it done, follow these following directions, and just give it to the post office the next business day:



Xiggi:

…allow me to repeat my little strategy for meeting deadlines that requires “postmark” proofs. It is pretty simple and only involves signing up for an online account with the USPS and print your own labels. You could print your label at 1150 and deposit the forms the next business day without causing an uproar. In this case it gives you a good number of meaningful hours. The postmark will be on the package and you have the proof of mailing with the same information. All for $3.85

Also remember that financial aid numbers can be estimated and corrected later. The schools ask for completeness and accuracy and prefer to see corrected information, even if it comes a bit later -in the form of an amendment.

Lastly, as far as mailing deadlines, it is good to remember that the mail won’t be processed for several days and that a little delay should not matter at all.



Means you just gotta go on to USPS.com and print out those ickle labels by today (12/31) or tomorrow (1/1). I <3 Xiggi so much right now.

If you’re confused, I guess I’ll just refer you to my other thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=133654
