Recommendation deadline! Urgent!

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I know that most unis don't penalize you for submitting recommendations a few days after the application deadline, and I know that the Common App allows you to submit your recos after having submitted your application and supplement.</p>

<p>My question is this: does the Common App allow you to submit online recos AFTER the application deadline has already passed?</p>

<p>My recommenders, both of whom promised to upload their recos to the common app site last week haven't done so and are missing in action. I'm starting to get very worried.</p>

<p>Most colleges will allow you to send in teacher recs a little bit after the deadline. If your teachers cant do it online, just do it on paper.</p>

<p>There was a thread about this recently, I believe that the general idea was that the actual application has to be sent in by the deadline, but if you notified the college or something about your situation, you could send in the recommendations late.</p>

<p>but what i am wonder is can you use the common app website to submit late recos online?</p>

<p>Yes, you can. However you have to submit who is recommending you by the deadline. Where it says school forms, just choose which recs you are using for which college and then you can submit your application and it will be fine. The common app will forward the recs when they are ready.</p>

<p>The exact same thing happend to me this break!! and I had 7 deadlines this week.</p>
