5 out of 20 applications still missing documents after almost 1.5 months???

<p>That's not even counting the ones I haven't heard from/can't check the status of. (yeah, I applied to a lot) I mailed everything before 1/1. What's going on? Is this normal? It's odd that so many schools would lose so many documents... is this their fault or is something going terribly wrong on my teacher's part?? :( Anyone have this problem? I'm going to contact all soon...</p>

<p>Some high schools goof up in sending documents. That’s why you get the reminders, so you can check. You won’t be penalized for the mistakes of adults, as long as you follow up when you can.</p>

<p>Pick up the phone.</p>

<p>Call the places you care about.</p>

<p>Ask what is missing and when they need it.</p>

<p>You may find that the very same thing is missing everywhere. You may find that each place is missing something different. However, until you ask, you won’t know if it is fixable.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
