<p>If for some reason the teacher mails in an evaluation late, will a student still be considered in the EA pool?</p>
<p>As long as the recommendation is received in a reasonably timely manner (say, mid-November), there won’t be any problems. MIT will post on the blogs when they’ve gone through all the mail, and if you have any application components missing at that time, you should have your school/teachers re-send them.</p>
