<p>I got my Esther login just now, and everything for my application is in but my teacher recommendation. I asked my teacher if he sent it in and he said he did, but he did it offline. </p>
<p>Is my application FUBAR now? Tomorrow I'm going to ask him first thing if he made sure he sent it in, and if for some reason he didn't, will Rice even accept the recommendation even though it's been almost 3 weeks since the deadline?</p>
<p>The rec has probably not been processed yet by the admissions office. Keep in mind that the admissions office is receiving thousands of applications and the office is quite small, so it takes time to process the materials.</p>
<p>You should talk to your teacher tomorrow and also call Rice’s admissions office. Whenever you have questions like these, it is always best to call the admissions office first before posting this question on CC. We don’t know if the admissions people are going to accept the rec late or not. However, from my experience, the Rice admissions officials are quite understanding people.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about late recs! They don’t hold it against you, and realize that it is out of your control. If if makes you feel better, go ahead and call, but they will be swamped now.</p>
<p>Alright thanks for the advice.</p>
