<p>I just sent in my app about 15 minutes ago, 5 minutes before the deadline. But here's the thing, I decided to apply maybe ten minutes prior to that. Although I got the application in on time, I need to ask for recommendations (my teachers just need to print out another copy) and to have my transcript released at school, and I just sent in my SAT + ACT scores. On the website it says the deadline for all of those is Jan. 2. Does anyone know if this is a hard deadline, or if it would be alright if my stuff came in in the next week?</p>
<p>Recommendations, transcripts, etc (basically anything other than the application and supplement) are soft deadlines. Just make sure to get your school to sed it asap.</p>
<p>soft, i sent my teacher recs after the deadline. its ok as long as your app was in on time, the main part, then your fine.</p>
<p>I received a confirmation e-mail from Duke and got my account set up where I can see what has been turned in. It says that since they’re going through heavy loads of applications, I don’t have to worry if I didn’t get certain things in. They’re going to update my list by late January and if there is anything missing, then I can just simply send it in. So, I definitely think there’s no problem.</p>
