<p>Is there a deadline for teacher recomendation letter?</p>
<p>The same deadline applies for all parts of your application. For Harvard, the deadline is January 1.</p>
<p>^^ That is incorrect.</p>
<p>The deadline is for you (the applicant) to submit the common app and supplement. Your teacher can be slightly late with their recommendations and it will be okay.</p>
<p>Once you submit the Common Application and Supplement (by the deadline), Harvard and all colleges, start putting your file together. The file room must create a folder with your transcript, high school profile, guidance counselor report, test scores, teacher recommendations and essays. </p>
<p>If there is an item missing, Harvard (and all other colleges) will email you around the third week of January and give you one to two weeks to track down the missing components and send them in. With thousands of students submitting applications, each having multiple components, some items do get lost or misplaced and each college must allow sufficient time for reconciliation.</p>
<p>many thanks</p>
