DEADLINE!:Can I submit my common app applications with incomplete recommender section

<p>Hello everyone! I have deadlines coming up for Oklahoma University, Penn, Colombia, Stanford, and Duke. I basically have everything in place, but I glanced at the recommender section, and only one teacher has completed it. I have a counselor and two teachers, and only one has completed it. I've already submitted three applications, Stanford, Duke, and OU, but I still have the other two left. Will it hurt that if I go ahead and send it without them? By the way Im on christmas brake and the only thing I can do is email the teachers and ask that they speed it up a bit. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Recs, transcripts… basically anything that’s not your common app or supplement can be submitted after the deadline and it won’t matter. So yes, go ahead and send what you have in right now.</p>

<p>yea u can send them after deadline.</p>

<p>It depends on your schools. Most schools allow at least 2-3 business days after the deadline for the rest of the materials to arrive other than your app, some allow more and a very few have strict deadlines for all materials.</p>
