<p>I'm ready to submit all of my Common App applications except for one problem -- my letters of recommendation are not done yet. I'm confused as to when these letters are due -- are they due before you send in your application, or do you send them in after? I know this varies from school to school, but for example I can't figure out how Northeastern University wants it done. If someone could help me out it would be much appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>You’re responsible for your portion (submitting the common app). Colleges have some leeway with follow on docs (school reports, rec letters, scores, etc.) If their internal deadline are approaching, they’ll call the school or even you to nudge things along. Don’t stress – THEY WANT TO ADMIT YOU.</p>
<p>Thank you, this clears everything up.</p>
