Do colleges expect to recieve letters of rec by the time thier apps are due? I’ve already had letters of rec sent to schools but I’ve decided at the last minute that I want to apply to cornell. I don’t want to ask my teachers to send the letters during break, especially this close to Christmas. The deadline for Cornell is Jan. 2. Would it be ok if i had the letters sent on like Jan. 7th or 8th, or do they have to be postmarked by the second?

also, does anybody know how many letters cornell requires?
