<p>How much does Stanford "recommend" their Dec 1 deadline? Would I hurt my chances at all by sending my online app in around Dec 10?</p>
<p>when are you RD guys sending yours in?</p>
<p>I applied EA, but I'm sending my RD apps to other schools on December 17th (day before winter break starts).</p>
<p>yea, why is this 'recommended deadline' thing quite important?</p>
