Questions about Jan 1 deadline

Is there a certain time that the app is due that day? (11:59 pm in the time zone Rice is in, for example?)

If everything is there on Jan 1 except a teacher letter, is the whole application late/void? He said he’d submit it by Christmas, but I think he forgot. Sent a reminder but not sure he’s checking school email during break. School resumes on Jan 2 - just wondering if it’s too late if he sends it then?

Tried contacting Rice - the admissions office is closed until Jan 2. :frowning:

Thanks!

Don’t stress over it. As long as everything in your control is submitted by the deadline, most colleges will give a few day’s leeway over the supportive documents (such as your teachers’ recommendations). If your application is otherwise strong, this will not make or break your acceptance.

Thank you for responding so quickly.
