Postmarked or received by?

<p>Hey all. I’m applying RD to Stanford, except I’m applying as a Dance Minor. On the website it says that the full application and arts supplement are due by December 1st. Is that a postmark or received date? I can definitely have my Common App in by then, but I’m not going to get a chance to postmark my dance supplement until Monday (the 29th) at the earliest. I was just wondering if this was going to be an issue. Thanks!</p>

<p>That’s almost always the postmark date, since they can’t expect you to perfectly control how long it takes for the mail to get to them. But I would email them to be sure.</p>

<p>As far as I know, it’s the postmark date. Most other colleges do it that way, I don’t see why Stanford would be any different.</p>

<p>Yeah, I concur with the above two posters.</p>

<p>I haven’t seen a college (so far) that has NOT used the postmark date.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks guys! I appreciate it :)</p>
