<p>ok, my counselor doesnt write letters of rec over winter break and the deadline for my school is jan 1st. Is a late letters of rec going to affect my chances?
do teachers and counselors have to turn in the letters before the due date??</p>
<p>Teachers and counselors should mail the letters out so that the letter is postmarked by the deadline.
A late letter of rec might not hurt you too badly if everything else has already been sent in.</p>
<p>lol…
wut do u mean too badly?</p>
<p>It’s not going to affect your chances. Tons of material for tons of files are being sorted and processed. When your file gets examined, and something is missing, the school will contact you or the school for the missing item. That simple.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, they actually want to read your file and are hoping you’re one of the kids they can admit.</p>
