<p>Do the forms such as teacher recommendations and counselor recommendations have to arrive before the deadline March 15? Or is March 15 only the deadline for the application itself? Well I'm sure all the forms will arrive sometime during next week, but I'm still kinda worried.</p>
<p>The general rule, I think, is this:
The application has to be in by the 15th, but I have heard of people getting accepted after turning theirs in late (although I assume they were strong candidates).
Teacher rec’s and other things of that nature do not have as strict of a deadline, but it might be a good idea to have them at least postmarked by the 15th.</p>
<p>After a potential crisis (prof emailed me the day my rec’s were due to tell me that he’d forgotten to write a rec but that it was done), I called the university in question and was told that it wasn’t a big deal.</p>
<p>oohhhh I see! 
that’s what I kinda thought as well! thank you so much!!</p>
