When to submit recommendations

<p>I just recently decided that I wanted to apply to Northwestern after my family recommended that I should apply there.</p>

<p>Since I submitted all my other apps via Common App, I can still meet the January 1st deadline. But my school is on break now so I cannot submit my recs/school report by the deadline.</p>

<p>Is it possible that I can submit the recs the day after or is everything due that day?</p>

<p>Flower, my Early Decision agreement was late due to my counselor missing the form she needed to sign. Apps were due by early November, but the extra materials deadline was not until December 1st or so. My point is, the other materials beyond the actual app can be turned in later, so you will be fine, as long as you get it soon after school starts. They were very understanding when I emailed them, so you can always just email and explain your situation. Good luck!</p>

<p>phew!! thats a relief! thank you =)</p>

<p>No problem. Mine was a similar situation, and I was freaking out until they responded, haha.</p>
