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!
