<p>Lets say one of the teacher sent the teacher's rec 2 days late after the R
D deadline.
Would they not even consider my application then?</p>
<p>Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think as long as you have your application in on time, they usually give you about a month to get all your supporting credentials in (depending on the school of course)</p>
<p>Don't worry. They are the most lenient when it comes to teacher recs..
2 days should be fine. Just make sure everything else is on time, and you'll be ok. After the deadline, it usually takes colleges a couple of weeks to open all the mail and organize everything, anyway. After this, colleges usually email any applicants who having missing recs or scores and give them a couple of days to get them in.
I think it's a good idea for applicants to call the schools a couple of weeks after the deadline to make sure everything is in order. They will usually be able to tell you.</p>
