<p>I submitted my Common App, supplement essays, and payments on time, but when I checked on the Applicant Status, I realized that my teacher's recommendation letters and transcript have not been received by the colleges. I asked my counselor to send them to colleges a month before the due date, so I think she made mistakes or there were technical errors. Because my school is currently under winter holidays, my counselor will return to school and send those files electronically on January 12th at the earliest. </p>
<p>Will these late materials put me at a disadvantage? Will colleges accept late materials?</p>
