<p>i'm worried. i gave my counselor my recs in september, and as of december 16th (the last day before winter break) he still hadn't finished. he said he would make sure to mail them out by jan 1. my counselor is a nice person and all, but he is so unorganized. I have a guy friend with an arabic name, and the counselor had written his whole rec as if he was a girl. "She is an excellent student..." my friend katie had her rec written as if her name was natalie. i'm concerned he's not going to mail out my rec by jan 1, especially since he's going to europe over break. </p>
<p>will i get in trouble if the counselor rec isn't postmarked by 1/1? i've already sent in everything else and my teachers say they've mailed in the teacher recs already. i know that the admissions office usually contact applicants who are missing a part of their application, and it's not a big deal. i go back to school jan 4th, so if he hadn't mailed them by then, well, i'll make him.</p>
