My ELA teacher hasn’t submitted my rec yet, and it’s due on Jan. 15. Would this stop me from being accepted, or would the admission office understand?
You should call the admissions office and ask. In our case, a few years ago, they were understanding as long as our part was submitted on time.
This happened to us. DS emailed (over weekend) and followed up with personal conversations to the teachers that were late. It turned out they thought they had submitted his letters, but didn’t realize they’d get a link from Gateway for each school, so once they submitted the one letter, they deleted all of the other email links. It was fixed although a few days late…AOs seemed to understand, as DS had also contacted them to explain he was doing all he could to get the teacher’s recommendations in on time. Good luck!!
Had to call one school today to see if the transcript was in a pile of unopened letters. It was!!! Thank goodness for online submissions. It must have been really tough five years ago.
^Im sure that’s was a relief! Hopefully, that was the only outstanding one! Good Luck!
