Should I still apply if I can't get my teacher recs in by the dead line?

<p>So I wasn't sure if I was going to apply to MIT, and had decided not to before christmas break started, but as the dead line approaches I have this sudden feeling that I really should apply just to see; the problem is that my school will be closed till January 6th, so I won't be able to have my guidance counselor send my teacher recs and transcript by the january 1st dead line; should I still apply even though those will be late? would they even accept them?</p>

<p>MIT will accept teacher recs and transcripts after the deadline, as long as the parts that you have control of are submitted on time.</p>
