<p>My deadline for three of my schools in 1/1 and one of my teachers still has not sent in her recommendation. I think she might have forgotten. What should I do since I wont see her until Jan 5, which is 4 days after the deadline. Will the colleges not read my application? I'm really worried and any help would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>Try emailing the teacher.</p>
<p>I did earlier this week. She didn’t respond :(</p>
<p>Well it is your teacher’s responsibility so I doubt the college will hold that against you…</p>
<p>Don’t torture your teacher over the vacation break. Submit your application and then when you return to school check in with the teacher to see if she needs anything else from you in order to complete her recommendation.</p>
<p>This is also a reminder for future applicants to get your requests for recommendations in way before any deadlines. Your job is to give your teachers and counselors all the information they need at least 3 weeks prior to the application due date, and you have to add more time (2 weeks) if the application due date is around the 1st of the year as your teachers are also likely on vacation. Do not expect them to work on your rec during their vacation or it might not come out as positive as you would have hoped.</p>
