Late Letters of Rec

[gagne]

How much does it weigh on your application if you have a recommender who still hasn't submitted a letter of recommendation 2-3 days after the deadline? Currently dealing with a recommender who totally blanked on all the emails I sent and our meetings in which I told him when deadlines were and what schools I was applying to. Missed the deadline for the two on December 1st and nervous he's gonna screw me over for the three in mid-December.

Hoping I didn't just throw money away on applications to have someone not submit on time/risk them just throwing my application away.

My last recommender for the Dec 1st schools submitted his letters yesterday! Still a little nervous but hopefully these two schools won’t hold it against me.

Hoping this one recommender being chronically late won’t ruin my chances…asked and he agreed to write recs for these schools and yet, he’s late on every single one
