Physics Olympiad US: Register by Dec 19th - Deadline?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the registration process for the US Physics Olympiad, specifically the deadline for submissions and how late entries are determined. Participants are uncertain whether the postmark date or the arrival date of the registration affects its timeliness, with a deadline set for December 19. Clarifications are sought regarding the contest format, with mentions of potential tests being sent to schools after registration. There is also interest in studying methods and the existence of a Physics Special Olympiad. The conversation touches on the timing of contests, which are scheduled for January or February, and the flexibility of test dates provided by schools. Despite various inquiries, the original question about the late registration policy remains unanswered.

hey guys, Ijust sent my regostration for Physics olympiad (US).
Do you know if they count on postmark or the day the mail arrives to consider which one is late? Cause the deadline of payment is Dec 19.

For a Canaidan physics olympiad prepare program its the date it arrives at the mail. what do you mean that you send in the regostration? don't you have to do the contests?
 
please excuse my typo.
I just sent my registration and I am living in the US.
after that, they will perhaps send the test to my school if I am not counted as late

hmm don't they have the contest for everyone on the same day?

They should do it by the date that says on the mail, its more proper.

How are you studying?
 
Hmm... this sounds interesting. Do they perhaps have a Physics Special Olympiad? I might actually stand a chance in that one.

*whoosh*

;)
 
nah, the contest will not occur until Jan/Feb
They don't give out a certain test date but your school is supposed to let students take the test during a period of time from day x to day y

still, nobody answers my question?
