<p>I am afraid that two of my teachers might not get my recs in on time. How will this affect me? Will schools automatically throw out my app, will I be at a disadvantage compared to others, etc?</p>
<p>You're okay. It says on the app that everything is due by the deadline but only the application and application fee are really required. They are going to be opening mail, filing everything, and reading essays for a long time.</p>
