<p>I had the perfect picture saved for the Rice Box but I completely forgot to upload it onto the writing supplement! CommonApp still let me submit because it wasn't a required field so I didn't even notice that it was missing! I already submitted because I am applying for music and the deadline was tonight. How much will this affect my admission? :'(</p>
<p>Well it’s not required, so it probably won’t hurt imo. It seems like more of a tradition thing…</p>
<p>Send an email with the picture as an attachment. No lengthy explanation needed: “I inadvertently overlooked this and would appreciate your attaching it to my application. Thank you."</p>
<p>I would do what dodgersmom suggested. Shouldn’t be a big deal.</p>
<p>the common app said if it didn’t work, you should fax it or mail it, so would it be wrong to just email it to admissions? mine won’t upload…</p>
