I’m guessing OP is a HS student since they stated that the deadline is before break is over. @sarah38 Your best hope is to call MIT directly and ask what you can do. They might not get back to you though since it is break. You might also want to talk to your counselors when you get back to school and tell them to fix the LOR process to make it easier for students in the future (i.e. having in-house deadlines, etc.). To future students reading this thread: have your LOR finalized at least a week before your deadline, even if the LOR deadline is after yours.
