I want to know if its possible to submit the application personally, by driving to the office of admissions at George Mason University and handing them my supporting documentation personally. George Mason has been known to misplace some supporting documentation, but my main concern is if I were to mail it, it might arrive past the application due date. I am applying today online, but they wish for you to send supporting documentation (such as transcripts, letters of recommendation, counselor reports etc.) my mail, e-mal, or fax. I don't want to risk my documents arriving past Janurary 15th. Geroge Mason is about 20 minutes from here, so do you think they would allow me dropping it off personally. Has anyone ever dropped an application off personally? I'll have everything I need by Monday or Tuesday, but will it arrive their by January 15th (next monday which is Martin Luther King's Birthday) if the school is 20 minutes away? Please answer all questions it would be a great help to me!

NEVER TRUST THe PO. I am still waiting on a priority mail package that was mailed in Aug. Def. hand deliver it and get a rec. for it.. As far as transcripts, they have to be the official transcripts MAILED from the schools.. U may be able to hand deliver the rest but not official transcipts..

Every university I've dealt with will accept hand delivery. But I'd suggest you call ahead to make sure you get there during office hours.
Also--most universities have on-line options for a lot of this paperwork now--and that speeds things up considerably. You should ask what your options are in that regard as well. Also check on faxing some documents if that seems appropriate.

If you are really concerned, then dropping off your application personally should alleviate your concerns. However, if you only live twenty minutes away, it will only take a day to have your application materials arrive by mail. I would only worry about mailing your materials if you lived in an international destination.
No worries! Good luck!

Im sure theyll accept it just deliver it to the office of admissions
i sent my application online but i delivered my credentials (transcript, letters of recommendation) personally at UT. just make sure you get a receipt when you turn it in, and you should have it all in an envelope..good luck!

Wow...this is not necessarily the answer you want to hear, but you have to check in with the admissions office. My former university would accept admissions applications in person, but before the deadline. You don't have to tell them "why" you want to submit it in person. Good luck.
