<p>don't worry i'll get your rec in by oct. 31...but if i dont, colleges will understand that teachers are usually late as long as YOUR application is in</p>
<p>is that rite?</p>
<p>Yes, they'll understand as long as your work gets turned in on time. I'm personally having trouble even getting my stuff READ by the admissions office, and I've sent in my teacher/counselor recs and transcript twice.</p>
<p>Actually that's incorrect, your teacher application is considered to be part of your application as a whole. Since, Michigan does rolling admissions if your teacher doesn't turn in your teacher rec before Oct. 31st you will be delayed in your application, and put in a later decision batch but you will probably still be considered Early Response just in a later decision batch. Therefore, you will be at a disadvantage since Michigan does rolling admissions and tends to accept more applicants early on in Early Nov/ Early Dec, than late Dec/ Early Jan.</p>
<p>Yeah I know your stress and what you are going through, I had to go through this process last year so I know the answers to most of these typical college app questions</p>
<p>While what Ramen said is true, if you have stellar stats in an application, even with a rec letter that's turned in during a time in which a high volume of applications are reviewed, you should be fine. I know plenty of people with good grades/testscores/etc who turned their applications in early November, and they were all accepted. But, if you get all your forms turned in during mid/late December, you're in a lot of trouble even if your stats are great (had a friend who was accepted by Princeton who got turned down by UMich because he was late).</p>
