I read a couple old posts about this topic but wanted an updated opinion about my problem. Long story short, my counselor did not submit her Counselor LOF (letter of rec.) or the school report on the common app for me and she is out for the winter break and has still yet to put it in and highly doubt she will. I get back from break the earliest at Jan. 8, almost a week past my Jan. 1 due date colleges and assuming she isn’t too lazy about it I bet it would at least take a week or sometime at or before Jan 15 when our school submits mid-year reports for EVERYONE… I know and will call the colleges I am applying to to make sure but some colleges are still on break so yeah. Just really nervous and all so wanted some form of answer at the least. Thanks guys!
When did you request this, and do you have an electronic or paper record? The common app opened in August. At my kids school, the registrar does the transcript, not the GC. You have naviance, right? when did you complete your application?
Most colleges are okay with it as long as your personal materials are in on time. A school that gets thousands of apps isn’t looking at all of them the first week anyway.
It didn’t appear to hurt my daughter, even though her counselor “slept” through the November deadlines and submitted the reports 30 days late. My D received acceptances from the colleges in early/mid December. I was afraid the schools would push her applications into the RD pile. Take heart!
Thank you all! I actually got a hold of my counselor somehow and now its the same situation for one last teacher through naviance that has been invited since September, Hopefully the same “it’s OK apply?”
@Bluebell2018 I’ve seen on the acceptances thread that your daughter was accepted at Sam Houston State. This school has just recently come onto our radar for DS2020. Have you visited? It’s about 2 1/2 hours from us but we’ve never been through Huntsville. DS2011 went to a private college so the tuition/fees/room and board at SHSU look fantastic in comparison!
