xbomber88 Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I had a really tough time making my decision on Friday and didn't make it to the post office in time to send my letter. I ended up sending it on Saturday morning by express mail so it should arrive there by Monday. I plan on calling them early Monday morning to make sure it's not a problem but I'm kind of freaking out right now that they won't accept it late. Do you think it will be okay?
LJK Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Did you send an email? There is no wait time for that form of communication. You should be fine - they accepted you, presumably they want you to come.
xbomber88 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 I sent an e-mail shortly before the midnight on the 15th asking if it was okay if I sent my acceptance on Saturday. It's probably nothing to worry about but it's still freaking me out.
SiraRaven Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Yeah, I feel like, as long as you sent an e-mail saying that you were indeed accepting them, they should be fine with it. I'd still call them on Monday, but I'm sure they'd check their e-mail before giving your spot away!
Ludwig von Dracula Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Hopefully it will be OK. One of my programs was very adamant about wanting my funding acceptance letter POSTMARKED by April 15th. They didn't seem to care about its arrival, but indicated that a later postmark would lead them to treat my reply as a rejection of the funding. This made me wonder if the university had some kind of policy that they needed to follow (but are they really going to save the envelope that letters arrive in in our files? If not, why not just fudge the dates?). If they haven't given you this kind of instruction, though, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Hopefully they'll receive your acceptance first thing Monday morning and email you to inform you that everything's OK.
