common app late teacher rec AND late transcript?

Applying to College
1

<p>God I feel like such an idiot right now. My lifelong habits of procrastination have come back and screwed me lol. </p>

<p>So, before christmas break I ask my math teacher to fill out an evaluation for me, and i tell her it's due 1st of january. I think she'll get it done by then, but I don't know. Problem is that most of the college im applying to requires 2 evaluations. I've asked my former AP chem teacher via email (he now teachers at community college, not at my highschool), and invited him but he probably won't even look at his email till school starts again. My music teacher, who would have been awesome with my evaluation because ive been accompanying the school choir for him, went on vacation a week before christmas break so i never had the chance to tell him. I invited him and sent him an email, but he's probably not going to even read his email till the end of christmas break either.</p>

<p>I also sent in my transcripts through parchment couple of days ago, and realized, hey, my councilors are on break, too, so they won't get to it either.</p>

<p>Feel free to tear me apart. i deserve it.</p>

<p>but am i completely screwed? for schools that REQUIRE 2 recommendations, would i even be able to send my application in? and if my teachers get to it past the deadline, can they still send that in through common app?</p>

<p>You can send in recommendations late.</p>

<p>For most places, as long as you got your common application in on time, you should be fine. Your files will simply be incomplete until the other materials arrive and are matched up. Keep an eye on those documents though- if they are lost or misplaced, you won’t have much time to get copies resent.</p>

<p>No you’re fine. Every day, colleges are getting buckets (literally) of mail with no one there to sort it. When they get back it’ll take a couple weeks for them to dig out of it, and during that time practically everyone’s apps will be incomplete. As long as your transcripts and recs get there in a reasonable amount of time (end of January probably) and you do your part and get your SATs sent and your commonapp/supplement in by the deadline, they will still consider your application.</p>
