not as if they're actually going to go through the massive pile of portfolios on their doorstep all in one day. i bet they won't freak if it arrives on the 3rd. then again, i hear they are all about rules and stuff there.

admissions coordinators + assistants are usually pretty nice and understanding. just make sure you call them to let them know it will be a few days late. no gaurantee, but im pretty sure they wont mind.

Harvard only accepts about 10% of the applicants, and I'm sure at least 10% will have theirs in on time. Those who are late will probably be rejected. Just my opinion.

baboomba you're funny....yeah, if your late you are automatically ignored...right?

I spoke with someone who worked in admissions....she told me late stuff was reviewed along with the others...and she said they take about 1 in 4 applicants.

My school used to put color-coded stickers on the folders of applicants. Late materials - other than those not in the control of the applicant, like transcripts and test scores - meant that the folder got a sticker meaning "late". I'm not sure that the committee would necessarily care about this as any sort of major factor, but it was readily apparent to anyone who reviewed that applicant.

jan 2nd is a national holiday because of pres. ford's death. thus no mail. i think theyll take that into consideration if its a day or two late. hope so at least, mine wont be there till the 4th.

oh.....by the way think you might have an hour and half to have it to the door steps if it is hand delivered.....pity the poor bogger spending New Years Day at the Entry of Gund Hall, then again I remember the heating exhaust vent is right at the entry so he should stay warm on this cold wet New England Evening.

I was wondering..does the gsd email people to acknowledge their completed application (ie. that all your forms, transcripts, scores and protfolio are in)? I'm a bit anxious to know that everything is finally done but I imagine they'll be inundated with calls today.
