EDERS: Is it bad when the Admissions Office calls you to say you are missing somethin

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I submitted all my material to my ED university, Duke, and I received a call that they were missing my artistic material (a DVD) for my supplemental form. Before the deadline I spoke to the adcom and said I will send it by November 10th becuase the compnay that I have employed to compile the DVD has taken extra time. I have sent it in November 14th because the DVD didn't work and I had to send it back and get another copy. The adcom agreed and was very lax about it.</p>

<p>In terms of my college, Duke, They have everything else in terms of the "main" forms from essays, transcripts, and reccs. The adcom lady said (in a voicemail) to please send it in by the end of this week. I hope that they do not get upset or look negatively on such an issue as tardiness.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I can't imagine they will. The worst case scenario is that they don't consider it in the application process...which, seeing that it's supplemental material, may not be that big of a deal.</p>

<p>I honestly wouldn't worry about if. If you have what it takes to get in you will.</p>

<p>sorry to steal the board.. but one of my teacher's didn't send in her recommendation yet b/c of a death in the family, and even though she says it won't affect me negatively (since its really nobody's fault) i'm really scared that it might hurt my chancces</p>

<p>Yikes! I'd get that teacher to call Duke, and I'd find another teacher to write a rec ASAP.</p>
