Late Letters of Recommendation?

[Deliberate]

If everything else in an application is submitted, but letters of recommendation come in late -- is this a deal breaker for schools?  I'm thinking of applications like UChicago -- which are due in a few days (I just now realized).

It's okay if letters come in late. Some schools even say this on their applications - they know that recommenders are often other profs who are very busy right now. If it's between a a great late LOR and an on-time one from someone who doesn't know you that well or you haven't done reproach with, they'd much rather have the great, but late, LOR.

 

Good luck

Haha, just saw my computer autocorrected "research" to "reproach" in the above post - oops!
