The teacher is not going to know what deadline you are aiming for if you don’t tell him. All schools are not Nov 1.

Instead of e-mailing him again, go and talk to him. Apologize a lot for doing this last minute. Explain that you want him to write a recommendation by the end of next week. He doesn’t seem familiar with the process so you may have to explain what he needs to do with the letter after it written. Can it be submitted to Naviance? Or does it need to be mailed? If so, the deadline is earlier. You really should not have waited so long for this. Don’t be surprised if the teacher says he can’t do it.
