Did my counselor just ruin my chances of getting accepted?

<p>Please help :(
My counselor is not great..to say the very very least. My number one top choice school, Emerson, had their early deadline Nov 1st. (I am doing early app because I need to get into their honors program for tuition purposes and that deadline is also nov 1). I sent in my honors application and common app, as well as the 2 essays and 2 question responses and teacher recommendation on Oct 31. My counselor was supposed to send in my graded writing sample I gave him (the program requires a hard copy sent in by him) along with my transcripts, secondary report, and guidance counselor recommendation on Oct 25th. I followed up numerously w/ him and he assured me that he did.</p>

<p>I checked my application status 5 days ago, and it said that it was incomplete. It was missing everything he was supposed to send it. I emailed the school, hoping that it was a mistake, but after confronting my counselor, I found out that he failed to send it in. (mind you, it was Nov 24th and the deadline was nov 1). I made him call the school and explain, and fax it over to them. I told me he faxed all three items in. When I checked my email, Emerson said that they recieved my secondary report..but said nothing about the counselor rec or writing sample. I talked to my counselor again the next day and apparently he lost the recommendation form so he never sent it in. I printed another one off and he filled it out and called the school and faxed it in, now 25 days past the deadline. I checked my status today, day 30, and it says it has everything but my graded writing sample. But my counselor showed me everything he faxed over and supposedly he did fax over my essay.</p>

<p>Should I email the school for clarification--again? I have had to email them like 4 or 5 times in the past few months regarding this and other questions, and now my counselor has royally screwed me over. Will my one more email send them over the edge of annoyance and reject me? Are my chances ruined because of my counselor's idiocy and now I won't even get reviewed? I need to know that they recieved my writing sample, but am afraid to email. I have spent over 4 months perfecting my application for this school..and now I may not even be reviewed?</p>

<p>help please. thanks for reading.</p>

<p>Email him again to check. It wasn't your fault, and the school shouldn't penalize you. Even so, try to get this fiasco settled before it TRULY is too late to do anything about it.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>It wasn't your fault so I'm sure they will understand your situation. My guidance counselor sucks too and colleges know not every guidance department is competant.</p>

<p>I had a similar situation happen with my teacher rec except it wasn't my teachers fault, the rec just got lost in the mail and never got to the school. School's are very understanding. This is out of your control and you worked really hard to fix it so I'm sure you'll be okay. It it was your actual application that you hadn't sent, it would be another story but this was someone else's responsibility. Good Luck! :)</p>
