<p>My daughter just found out that her teachers are first doing her recs -- altho they had the material since September. Do they just have to be postmarked, or received by Nov 1st?</p>
<p>the site says that all materials (that implies inc recs) must be postmarked by nov1... the reports also specifically said that teachers should make sure theyre in before nov1</p>
<p>Don't worry about it---</p>
<p>Last year when I applied, one of my teachers FORGOT to send the thing in... Of course I was panicking and whatnot but I called, they said no problem and faxed one in. I still got in ED.</p>
<p>Recommendation letters are relatively not important considering their nature of being purely subjective. Unless they are extreme in their praise or rebukes, it's unlikely to affect a candidate either way.</p>
