Late recommendations!

by getmba2013 » Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:13 am
So after applying to 8 schools and feeling everything was under wraps, I began medical leave from work in order to prepare for a major upcoming operation. I recently found out, however, that my recommendations for Round 2 USC Marshall hadn't been submitted. They are now, but it's obviously quite late. My recommendations have been good- even prompting another schools' admissions director to write a personal note to me saying what a pleasure it was to read them...so I know the content of the letters and my profile should be enough to get in.

Any suggestions? I love the program and, despite letting this slide, am not the kinda guy who usually does. Any ideas would be incredibly helpful.

Thank you!

you said that the admissions director liked your letters to an extent that he dropped you a personal note, yet you feel worried about the application.

it sounds that the director should have taken care of your case, then why would you be confused?
