Hypothetically speaking, a person could put the forms in the mail today (or even tomorrow) and be ok. We say we want the forms mailed by May 15, but we don't actually need them quite that early.

It's just there are a lot of you and a lot of paperwork and it takes a while to get through it all.
Not that this applies here, but for the sake of others who might still have forms sitting on their desk, what starts happening to students who are real late in mailing their forms is their chances of getting their first or second choices in their classes start diminishing (particularly if it is a real popular class like Foreign Policy or either film class.) In fact, even if we have your course selections online, if we don't have the rest of your paperwork we won't assign you to a class. Once the paperwork arrives, we'll see what classes have space and put you in those.
We won't start assigning classes until Friday or maybe next Monday - need to give the mail time to get here for those who mailed things on Monday.
