The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

Question #167:

What does the college application deadline refer to? Is it the last date when one can send the application forms or is it the last date the college accepts the forms?

Answer #167:

The deadline is usually the date by which all application materials must be received by the college. Most colleges will not consider applications received after the published deadline, unless they have been informed of special circumstances. Some schools indicate, however, that materials must be postmarked rather than received by the deadline they indicate. Be careful to read the information carefully so that you can comply with each school's particular preference. EDUFAX provides services for the Collegebound High School Student.
