Leeway for school forms (Nov. 1 = hard deadline?)

You’re fine, tinsel. The drop dead deadline is only for materials coming from you, the student. There’s some leeway for materials you have no control over – teacher and GC recs. My son did not discover until around Nov 15 last year (via his Eli account – the dreaded red “X”) that one of his recommendations never reached Yale. Admissions just asked him to make sure that it was re-sent promptly.
