If I have a teacher turn in the letter of recommendation after the deadline will it still be read, because I didn’t know that I needed a social studies teacher letter of recommendation for Cal Tech and the teacher I emailed told me their stuff was on the computer back at school. Plz help!!!
The deadline for students and teachers are almost always different. Most schools have a teacher deadline about a month after the student deadline. Not sure about CalTech specifically, but it should be fine. If you’re super nervous, call and ask (obv don’t mention that you didn’t realize the rec requirements)
it’s my belief that teachers are allowed to turn it in late. You should be fine.
Thank you so much guys!!
Son went to Caltech; they know the teachers are swamped and give them a little leeway. If you get into CalTech, it’s your app and essay that they scrutinize.
My engineering teacher told me that colleges re-download the application after awhile because of issues like this and that she has called many colleges to confirm this (been a teacher for a while now).
