Hi everyone,

 

The deadline for Northwestern was yesterday and one of my letter writers did not submit their letter (after reminders from me and reassurance from their end that it would be in on time). Should I be worried my application won't be looked at because it is incomplete? Did this happen to anyone last year?

I wouldn't worry too much. Adcoms are used to professors sending in letters after the deadline. I would still try and get your letter writer to send it in as soon as possible, because I've heard that if it's not in by the time the adcom reads your file, it probably won't be read. But I don't think it's too unusual for letters to arrive late.

Don't worry too much--but do send an email to Northwestern and tell them that it will be submitted soon. They haven't looked at your app at all, as it's still January 1 and all. Try to get the professor to submit soon!
