<p>I know the deadline for RA is January 1 but a teacher of mine that wrote one of the recommendations forgot to put the stamp of the school to make it official and the school will not open until January 8. Is it okay to submit my part and then, on January 8, mail the recommendation? Isn't it too late?</p>
<p>That will be fine – as MollieB posted on this thread very recently, as long as your application is in by the deadline and you have asked everyone to send letters and school documents by that date, it is not a problem if a few things arrive within two weeks or so.</p>
