<p>Dnt hav teacher recs, apps due on jan 1, wat do?</p>
<p>wat happeens if u hav no teacher rec…?</p>
<p>You lose a very important portion of the application that shows the schools how others see you.</p>
<p>You might get lucky if you ask a teacher that really likes you for a quick recommendation…but ask if they can write an honest and non-generic one.</p>
<p>But next time, do it sooner.</p>
<p>Tnx for reply.
I know and realise that its completely my fault. I have tendency of doing this…if i ask a teacher now, would it be too late or ok? Also i heard that most schools allow late tr is that true?</p>
<p>They can be submitted after the application deadline, but I wouldn’t do it too much later.</p>
<p>It would be fine, just give them a deadline. I would say January 12th AT THE LATEST.</p>
<p>It is not ideal, it reflects poorly on you when they are late, also schools are valuing recommendations more and more these days. Ask a teacher that loves you, you might get lucky. I know at my school teachers that mainly teach upperclassman will turn people away if they are asked this late/if they already have a lot to write.</p>
<p>Same for counselor rec?</p>
<p>Yeah…You really should not have waited this long. At my school (sorry I have no other experience with recommendations) it takes a month to get a counselor recommendation once you have submitted the request. Where are you applying?</p>
<p>URoch, USC, brown(maybe)</p>
<p>Sorry I can only speak to Brown…I have no idea what the rest of your application looks like, but I would not advise it based on a combination of your writing (this is based on your posts in this thread) and the fact that you currently are lacking a major component of the application.</p>
<p>Your counselor has a lot of stuff to do, I hope you know that. It’s not fair to them to get them involved so late.</p>
<p>You better find some schools with Jan 15 submission dates or some that don’t require rec letters. Save your money on the Brown app and treat your parents to dinner.</p>
<p>I think I’m just gonna go ahead and apply to harvard, gonna go deeps lawl.</p>
<p>Good luck, brah.</p>
<p>May your kids treat you and your money how you treat your parents’ money</p>
