musicianmom Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Hypothetically speaking, if one were to send a recommendation letter via FedEx so that it arrives at the scholarship office on the day of the deadline, and one receives an email notification from FedEx that the letter was signed for at 2:14 p.m. on the correct day, is it safe to assume that everything is okay and the student's eligibility for scholarships will not be in danger?

Julie of KY Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hypothetically - yes. You have notification that everything was received by the deadline so you should be good. I've "heard" that colleges often have a slightly later deadline for recommendation letters if all the supporting student data is in. It wouldn't hurt to call the college and confirm that everything is in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I know that University of Georgia and Georgia Tech both accept recommendations up to a week later than the application deadline. How do I know this? Well, let's just say that we get an email from the counseling department at our school every year telling us that is the case so not to panic. Your friend is not the first or the last (or the only) recommender who waited until the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clementine Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I would think that because you have confirmation of delivery, it's fine. I'm not saying I wouldn't fret, lol, but logically speaking I think it would be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 should be OK. In addition, if I were hypothetical friend, I would submit it electronically as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
