Exactly what needs to be submitted and/or postmarked by November 3?
You need to submit your application, essays and application fee by November 3. If you’re mailing your application, these materials need to be postmarked by November 3. All the other materials–teacher recommendations, transcripts, counselor statement, and test scores–can arrive after the deadline. (One small exception to the rule: if you are paying by check or money order, or have requested a fee waiver from your counselor, those items can arrive after the deadline. Just be sure when you submit your application online that you choose the correct payment option.
