How Do College Admission Application Deadlines Work?

When you send a college application, does the college look at the date the application is postmarked or the date they receive the application? Does this vary from college to college? If it does would anyone happen to know how UMass Amherst handles this?
Date it is postmarked..
Colleges will use the postmarked date of the application. Some colleges will require only the application by the deadline; others will required the applications and all other documents by the deadline. It is a good idea to call UMass’ office of admissions and ask your regional counselor specific questions.
Most, if not all, are by the postmarked date. It is good to get them in early though if you can
