Help! my employer didn't email my LOR in time for ED deadline 11/15!

<p>basically, i asked my employer to write me a supplement LOR. She was quite busy and had some confusion about the deadline so she didn't finish it in time for the deadline 11/15. She has written the LOR now, though, but I am wondering whether it should be submitted? </p>

<p>Does a late supplement LOR make my application look bad because it seems i didn't prepare well in terms of asking for recommendation form my employer? </p>

<p>I got all other parts of my application there on time so i don't want to risk adding a late component. This is only a supplement, not required by my school so there is no problem to leave it out of my ED application. It is a shame though that I still want this LOR to be considered - it refers to my internship that i have worked really hard, and my employer said she gave me very high recommendation. </p>

<p>Please tell me your opinion! Should i still ask my employer to sen my LOR to my ED school?</p>

<p>SUBMIT IT! They will not hold it against you. It isn't your fault it was late.</p>

<p>I think you should have mail it off tomorrow. It shouldn't make too much of difference.</p>

<p>thanks to you both. ^^ </p>

<p>@ Sligh Anarchist: i don't understand why I should have it mail instead of email? is there any reason why the LOR shouldn't be sent via email? (i thought email would be much quicker? considering it's already late for the deadline and i'm an international :( )</p>

<p>also, i already asked my employer to send the LOR via email. should I ask her to send it by snail mail, too?</p>

<p>Colleges are fairly lenient on receipt of late letters of rec. Moreover, if college accepts or encourages them to be sent by email then email is fine. Nevertheless, whether you should send it depends on the college -- does it encourage or discourage more letters of rec than those required, for example, some actually say on their sites that you should not send anymore than the number of letters required.</p>
