Does a late reference letter to UWaterloo accepted? One of my referees had to take an emergency leave because of a family death and because of that she would not be able to complete the recommendation to University of Waterloo(for MDSAI program) by end of deadline. She has informed me that she could complete the recommendation 2 days later from the deadline but the university website mentions that the reference needs to be submitted by deadline. Can this cause an issue and get my application rejected?
This question can probably be best answered by the MSDAI's point of contact. You can find their contact information here: https://uwaterloo.ca/graduate-studies-postdoctoral-affairs/future-students/programs/data-science-and-artificial-intelligence-mdsai-co-op
