<p>Hey guys im an international applicant from Mexico and im facing a couple of problems with my common application. This problems are with my school forms: my teacher recommendations and the uploading of the transcript and letter of recommendation from my counselor.</p>
<p>Some data: In Mexico we dont have guidance counselors, I fixed this by asking some school official to serve as one. I already graduated but i have strong ties with my high school, this past friday they went on holiday break and will not come back until January 3.</p>
<p>Situation:
- Most of my deadlines are January 1st, i have about 10 days to finish my applications.
- The official agreed to serve as my counselor. He started his part of the common application by adding his contact data and aswering a couple of questions. However his status still appears to be incomplete, im going to guess he hasnt uploaded his recommendation letter and my transcripts (which i just sent him a few hours ago after i translated them). I still have around 10 days for most of my deadlines but I fear he wont complete the recommendation letter on time and will complete it until the school comes back from break.
- Second problem: I asked one of my teachers to write me a recommendation a few days ago, he agreed to do it and wont have language barriers since he is a native english speaker. The problem is that he will be traveling for the next weeks and will take his time. He has not delivered his letter because the Common app status claims he has not completed his share. I also fear he wont deliver his letter before break is over.</p>
<p>My application cant be completed until this individuals fill in their recommendation letters. If any of them fail to do so on time, is there a way the colleges im applying to will accept my application a few days late? and by a few days late i mean a maximum of 2 or 3.</p>
