Recommendation Submission after Common App Submission

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Hi.
I have gotten my school counselor to write a recommendation letter for me and the status on my Common App page says "Started (Date)." I've told him many times the application is due Feb. 1st but he has yet to submit it and the school office is closed from today. (Chinese New Year)</p>

<p>Thankfully, he did update my Mid-Term Report and his is not the only recommendation letter I have. Other parts of the application are done.</p>

<p>Will he be able to submit the letter even after I submit the application? I know the college doesn't look at all of the application the moment they receive it, but will sending the recommendation letter late be a disadvantage?</p>

<p>It would be great if I can get any advice from people with similar experiences.</p>

<p>Yes. Recommendations can be submitted any time and are not under that same deadline restrictions you have for your Application.</p>

<p>Thank you for the reply.
That’s a big relief. Surely it can’t be submitted too late though? I’ll be sure to call him after the break is done.</p>
