<p>Does MIT let us submit materials after the Jan 1st deadline? Both of my teachers submitted recs almost 2 weeks ago, but it still says that they haven't been processed. I can't get a hold of them until Jan 3rd because of break, so I was wondering if my application will be thrown out because of this? If I get them to fax it over the day I get back, will MIT accept it?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If your teachers have submitted the recs, you should have nothing to worry about. In order to be certain, I would suggest a quick call to the office of admissions when they reopen.</p>
<p>First, it’s likely that your teachers’ letters are actually at MIT, but that they’re sitting in a pile somewhere waiting to be sorted into your application. </p>
<p>Second, even if there is some problem with the letters, you can have your teachers re-submit them after MIT is done processing all the mail – no worries. </p>
