Hi,

I had a question regarding reference submission. My referee is out of station and will not be able to submit my reference by 3rd feb. I called the admissions office, they said its not a problem, that she can do it at a later date. But do I still submit the form? Since the last date is 3rd feb? Can she still submit the reference after I have submitted the form?
