Last minute application

Transfer Students
1

<p>I decided to apply to Wesleyan on a whim, but I haven't requested the professor recs. Is it OK to turn in supplemental materials after the stated deadline?</p>

2

<p>Clarification: I have talked to my professors about the possibility of needing a rec later but haven't given them the forms because I wasn't sure about applying this year.</p>

3

<p>I think everything has to be postmarked by the deadline - March 15th.</p>

<p>It is usually okay for the recs etc. to lag the actual application by a bit. YMMV.</p>

<p>As long as your Fee, Common app, and supplement are in by the 15th you are fine. Some schools, ie) Georgetown and Hopkins have not even started processing their apps.</p>

<p>Thanks! but by how many days can the recs and transcripts lag?</p>

<p>There are not set # days, 'tis. Just give the rec form to the profs and tell them as soon as possible after 3/15. Order the transcripts now and you'll be fine.</p>

<p>Many schools with March transfer deadlines don't really begin to deal with them until after April 1 because they are slammed with the freshman admit process until then. Again, no guarantees, but that is a common time frame.</p>

<p>I'm thrilled by the prospect of ending up there next year, especially since my decision to apply was so spontaneous.</p>
