<p>I'm sitting here wondering what is going to happen with my apps because well..although I have sent in all of my stuff, 1 of my teachers + my counselor hasn't sent in the rec forums. I've told them over and over it is needed by Jan 1st and they don't do anything. I'm scared as hell now..how bad will it be.</p>
<p>Don't sweat it. It's been well-documented (and I've checked it out myself with several Admissions Offices) that as long as you get your app in, it's okay if the recs, etc. arrive withing 10-14 days after.</p>
<p>Remember, nobody is sitting the the Admissions Office right now, waiting for your teacher recs, despite the fact that it's January 1st.</p>
<p>thanks thats what i figured. ive sent in the supps + apps so is it okay if i wait like 1-2 days for act scores</p>
<p>Heyalb is right. Think about it - Applicants are sending in applications around the same time as their schools are focused on fall exams. Then it's the winter holidays and a lot of college apps are due the first week of January. But HS guidance counselors won't be back at work until the second week of January. Colleges will hold you to their deadlines, but they'll understand if your HS is somewhat late on what it sends - it happens all the time.</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
