letters of rec deadlines

How flexible are grad admission with letters of rec being submitted by the deadline. As long as your actual app is in, is that ok? I mean, if the school received the letters of rec a few weeks late, would that be ok?

I'd like an answer to this question as well.

For schools that specifically say they have a rolling admission you may get away with it. Depends on the school. Most schools, especially more competitive ones, simply will not consider incomplete applications after the deadline and that will be that.

Some schools can be lenient, but really you have email the school and confirm because you don't want to risk your application not being considered after all the effort you've put in to it.

I ended up contacting the school. They said it was okay just as long as it is not too late.
