<p>I don't think one of my teacher recs will reach Vanderbilt by the postmark deadline. I haven't submitted my online application yet. Should I just not submit? Is it a waste of my money? Or will Vanderbilt still look at my app? Should I submit anyway and pray that they overlook it? Need some help...</p>
<p>Submit everything, and call to inform them that one of your recs is running behind schedule.</p>
<p>I'd submit the app.</p>
<p>Of course you should submit it. It's okay if one of the recs is a little late - as Luxar said, just call and let them know about it.</p>
<p>I'll call and let them know. i don't know if its going to be a "little late" though. I'm on break right now so by the time I get the rec and mail it the postmark date will probably be 5-6 days past the deadline. I'm crossing my fingers. That app cost me 50 *<strong><em>in bucks to submit, I'd be *</em></strong>ed if they just threw my app out, but i guess its my own damn fault for being lazy.</p>
