<p>I know that Harvard requests its applications to be in by December 1st so I've been working my hardest to get them in by them. I will probably submit my commonapp and supplement early next week. I've already sent in my SAT scores. The one problem I do have is with my recommendations. One of my teachers will have his recommendation sent in by then, but the other teacher has been sick the past few days of school and I'm worried he won't be able to have it done by December 1st. I also don't want to tell him that I have to have it in by Dec. 1 because I don't want him to rush and do a bad job. Do they care if recommendations get in by Dec. 1 and how should I handle this situation?</p>
<p>The actual deadline for Harvard is January 1, 2011, so I would think that it’ll be okay if the recommendation is in by January 1.</p>
