<p>if the application for colleges was due jan 1st (common app) do recs have to be post marked by jan 1st as well??</p>
<p>no, just get them in asap. the first couple of weeks after the applications are in, the colleges are inundated with paperwork and don’t spend any time actually evaluating applicants.</p>
<p>yea i just asked my counselor today and she said your portfolio has to just be completed by the end of january cuz they start reviewing apps around the beginning of february (unless u did ed 2)</p>
