Recommendations past deadline?!?

<p>I was an idiot. I spoke to my teachers and counselor at the beginning of the month on whether they would write me a recommendation, they agreed.</p>

<p>I have only sent it in on December 20th (very late i know). School is out. I emailed them apologizing and asking if they could still find time to do it. I haven't heard back from them. God I hope they check their school email during vacations.</p>

<p>Two questions,
1. Will the colleges I'm applying to see the date I requested the recommendations? (Dec 20th)?
2. I have heard colleges will make exceptions on accepting recommendations past the deadline (Jan 1st in my case). Thing is, if they receive 3 (counselor & 2 teachers), will they still make this excpetion?</p>

<p>Any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you so much</p>

<p>Bump…?</p>
