<p>The NYU application is due on January 1st, and I have the required amount of recommendations for NYU. I would like to send an additional recommendation because I feel that it will be very strong, but the teacher who I want it from still has not started. I don't think that he will finish the recommendation before the deadline. Will NYU still get the recommendation even if he finishes it after the deadline?</p>
<p>Yup. Just go ahead and assign him to NYU, and they should get it when he submits it.</p>
