Hey. I’m worried by recommendation (which is required) won’t be submitted in time for the January 1 deadline. It’s for Amherst college. The recommendation is done but a counselor has to submit it, and since it’s break, no one is working right now. Be real with me, is there any chance the recommendation can be submitted one day late or is it over for me?
It’s fine.
As long as your application is in, it won’t be a problem. College admission offices including Amherst’s understand that some recs will trickle in a few days late especially around the holidays. They won’t hold it against you.
