<p>Would it be really inconsiderate for me to email my teacher to ask if he's gotten the chance to send my rec yet? I'd ask in person but I just got my tracking # for my ED school today (how I know he hasn't sent it), and we don't have school tomorrow...I want to give him the day off to write if necessary. Would that be really rude of me?</p>
<p>The deadline is the 15th so I'm running out of time.</p>
<p>I don't think that's rude at all! Just be courteous, respectful, the usual. Also thank him or her for doing this for you/gently remind them it's due by _____. I think it's an assertive move, not a rude one. Good luck.</p>
<p>If you don't think he/she will finish on time, email the college admissions office and ask them about late recs. I did, and they told me that most applications are complete within 2 weeks after the deadline.</p>
<p>I think emailing your teacher would actually show that you're responsible and want to see your application through. Just remember to thank him/her. =]</p>
<p>Thanks guys, any more opinions?</p>
