So my teachers and counsellor have my letter of recommendation ready, but I failed to realize that the deadline is during Christmas break and that they probably wouldn’t be working during then. Would it be ok if they submit the letters a few days after the deadline? Same with the mid-year report from my counsellor?
Please help!!!
At most colleges that is fine for them to be a little late. Be sure to submit your components on time.
Schools know that you control only your parts of the application. Letters of rec, transcripts and test scores will still be arriving for a week or more after the deadline has passed and all of those applications will be read once they are complete. If they rejected out of hand everyone whose app wasn’t 100% complete on the day of the deadline, they’d be looking a lot less selective than they want to look - so don’t lose sleep about this.
