<p>I just wanted to know if it is worth submitting a late recommendation letter. My mentor over the summer has been very busy and was on vacation, and could not get me my letter by the date I previously asked for (before Christmas, after another talk; before New Year's). I don't want this to screw my chances by submitting something late, but I know for a fact that this recommendation is serious stuff.</p>
<p>If the place I had a mentorship/internship matters...I was offered a really prestigious spot with the Director of U.S. Rates at Deutsche Bank on Wall Street that is normally only offered to juniors in college. In my opinion it's some legit stuff and I don't want to leave something that is potentially groundbreaking out of my application...</p>
<p>I’m not sure how to edit posts on this site…but I forgot to mention if I should e-mail my recommendation letter or mail it tomorrow…</p>
<p>email it mine was emailed </p>

<p>This should be e-mailed to admissions office, right?</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback guys, I e-mailed it to admissions office and the hotel school admissions office. I have my fingers crossed on this one!</p>
<p>OP - I would assume you got the internship because of your connection. The school may veiw the LOR coming from a personal friend or relative. Next time don´t list the company, it is a very small world, and there are very few directors on the rates desk.</p>
<p>I don´t think it is going to hurt you, but it may not help you as much as you thought. As long as you have good LOR from your teachers, you should be fine. Good luck.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you very much for the feedback. I understand your reasoning and I must agree, but I also agree that it probably won’t hurt me too much. However, it can benefit me.</p>
