Jdealla Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hey guys, I have some to send some hard copies into Wisconsin and on their website they say that "In order to receive full consideration for admissions and priority consideration for fellowships, your application and all of the supporting materials listed above must reach the Graduate School and our office by December 1." Does this mean if I send something and it arrives on December 1st that I am out of luck? It's going to be about 34 USD if I get it there on Nov 30th, as opposed to 24 if I get it there on Dec. 1st. Should I just suck it up and pay 10 extra dollars or does this not really matter. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eklavya Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Does this mean if I send something and it arrives on December 1st that I am out of luck? in your case, it is most likely that if something reaches after dec 1, you might be out of luck. however, schools are flexible, and often lenient and consider materials that reach a couple of days late. it's unlikely that they'll gather up all materials at dec 1 midnight and trash anything they receive tomorrow and after. however, it is not worth taking the risk at this point!! if you are 101% sure that the materials won't reach later than dec 1, go for the 24$ option. otherwise, make the materials reach early. better in time than on time!

WildPeach Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 They might by simply looking at the stamp date - the date it was sent? It's my guess, if you want to be sure - pay more, do not risk sleepless nights and doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I would make sure it arrives no later than December 1st. But, ask yourself whether the $10 is worth the peace of mind in case something goes wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdealla Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Dear all, Peace of mind is worth 10$ even if its close to what you make per hour teaching English in Latin America. Package will be arriving tomorrow by noon. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaykaykay Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Check the exact deadline on the school webpage though(it may not be 11.59). I had a school where the deadline was DAY/MONTH 5.p.m.EST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
