So I go to a small school. Me and this guy were the only seniors to apply to college. We had both applied to these three schools: Princeton, Stanford and Cornell. I also applied to some other schools, but we had those in common.
The other guy lets call him ‘Ned’ was very determined to get his recommendations and transcript sent in before winter break. Our teachers are kind of last minute so it was understandable. I, on the other hand, asked for my teachers and counselor to do it during winter break.
They did not.
After a strenuous battle to get my transcripts and recommendations submitted they finally did it a week after the missing materials deadline.
Does turning those materials after the deadline penalize me even if they’re not in my control? Also since Ned turned his in way earlier than mine will admission officers see that? Theyre such elite schools so I’m not sure what to think. Thank you!
