When is the Letter of Recommendation due?

We stagger the application deadline and the deadline for your application and the Letter of Recommendation. Your application (biographical information, personal statement, two short essay responses) need to be submitted by the stated application deadline to be eligible for consideration in that round. To be considered as part of your application, your Letter of Recommendation must be received by the corresponding deadline of that round, which is typically 1-2 weeks after the application deadline (depending on the round). A Letter of Rec is optional. Nearly all students provide one however we invariably run into circumstances where a teacher misses the Letter of Rec deadline. We don’t want to penalize students when that happens.
