I sent all of my college applications before December 1st. Which was the deadline for the majority of them. But anyway, for one of the applications, I realized that I was suppose to print out this one little recommendation form for my teacher to fill out before sending my recommendations. Now this is the ONLY college that required this form; but it's my top school. I assumed my teacher sent my recommendations in the mail already; so I did not bother to tell her she was suppose to do this little form. Now I'm afraid that this will jeopardize my admission to this certain college. What should I do? Should I print out the form and make my teacher to do it? Or should I just forget it, and hope that the college won't care? I really need help on this one. Please someone answer. Thanks so much in advance!
College reccomendation forms required? Help!?
Call the admissions office and ask if the form is required. Of all the schools I applied to only one required the form, the others were ok with letters.
Reply:you should DEFINATELY do it. getting in to college is competitive and ALL about the little things. they might see it as inresponisble if you don't :)
Reply:In my experience, school requirements are way more flexible than they will have you believe. Call the admissions office, explain your problem and I am sure they will tell you what to do.
I was able to substitute a GRE for a GMAT with a simple call.
Reply:I think your best bet is to do a few things.
1) Make the actual call to the administration office of the college you are planning to attend. Note most operate during normal business hours and may be out for winter break, so call now!
2) Get the form filled out and turn it in. Even if it's late. At this point you already paid for the application fee, might as well get this form in. With the form have a typed letter explaining why it is late, and if you spoke to someone via the phone then mention their name in the paper and when you spoke to them.
Best of luck!
