"What if my recommender can't meet the application deadline? Will my application be held over into the next decision round?"
Here's what we do:
If an application has two submitted recommendations, we send it out for review by the Admissions Board in the round in which the application arrived. If the third recommendation comes in, we make every attempt to add it to the file. Since the file can be in any number of places and we can't stop the reading flow, we can't promise that the recommendation will be added before review is complete.
Applications with only one submitted recommendation are held up for the next round.
We'll post this again closer to the Round 2 deadline. |
