<p>I’m filling out the transcript request form for my college counselor, and one of the boxes I have to check is whether this college requires materials be MAILED BY or RECEIVED BY the given deadline.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the answer to this? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>They really are planning ahead to cut it that close? I would say received by to be safe. It doesn’t sound like they are planning to get it out any sooner than the last possible minute and I wouldn’t want to risk being part of that plan. </p>

<p>Or you could wait till admissions is back in the office and ask someone there ;-)</p>

<p>sigh: it starts early this year I guess.</p>

<p>The college will give leeway to forms submitted by the HS. you’re fine.</p>

<p>Do you think there’s an “auto reject” button for everyone who has one or two docs that come in past the deadline? They spend $100s of thousands to get great applications. Will they just delete yours for this minor issue?</p>

<p>Do you know what happens when a HS fails to submit a doc on time? Someone from Penn CALLS them to ask for it.</p>
