<p>I'm applying to a bunch of schools over winter break and was going through application requirements and due dates and realized that many of the deadlines for teacher recs are the same day as many app deadlines, Jan 1st. I was told by my counselor to not worry and send apps after break. We start school again on the 8th. I know this might sound ignorant, but if I send my app in before the deadline and the teacher/counselor recs after will schools still consider my app?</p>
<p>Im sure you already did so, but no, it won’t hurt your chances. Teacher recs are usually accepted anywhere from 1 week to 1 month after your normal deadline. Nothing to worry about. They probably won’t even get to your app before your recs arrive.</p>
