do you guys know if it's a big problem if one of your recs come in late (like a few days)? also what time on the 5th is the deadline? Thanks!

I'm having the same problem.I think it is ok since many recommenders are just back from the holidays.Booth and Tepper are lenient in this issue.

My 500 words essays are going above the limit ... close to 540 now. I am having extremelyhard time is cutting it down. Whats the best thing to do.. stick with 500 word limit and take some less imp info out .. or leave it with 540 words????

Last year I submitted my essay with 523 words for the 500 one, and 310 for the 300 one. I got an interview but was ultimately rejected. I think that was based on poor interview and grades, so I would probably put 525 words as fairly safe. :D

From my experience, Ross is understanding about recs, but won't call them and verify if you want piece of mind.

i emailed admissions today since one of my recommenders needs a couple more days too. they said it's fine up until 7-10 days after deadline.

Going upto 5% above the limit is fine.Mine is 529 words.

Just submitted my Ross Application...now the waiting begins. Good luck to everyone that's waiting on R1 decisions and to those that are in my boat as well.
