<p>My Son was planning to apply for Early Decision. The school he is apply to, Carnegie Mellon University, Requires an ED agreement which needs his guidance counselor's signature. However, the deadline is in 2 days (11/1) and i am quite worried on what we should do?</p>
<p>Can anyone help me and my son? Thanks</p>
<p>Email the admissions department now (before Nov. 1st). Explain the situation.</p>
<p>Can you fax it in today w/o the signature to hold his place and then fax the corrected one on Monday?</p>
<p>If you live in a small town or city, call the GC at home this weekend and get a signature and fax it. Otherwise, email the GC and request a meeting early Monday for a signature and then fax. Or ask the GC to email CMU and say she will follow up w/ whatever they require.</p>
<p>I bet CMU will be accommodating.</p>
<p>I’d bet since the 1st is on a Sunday that faxing on Monday morning will work.</p>
<p>Are there any alumni recruiters in the area he can speak to? Maybe they can pull a few strings. Good luck- I’m sure it will work out:)</p>
<p>I don’t think this will be a problem. He has "signed’ his on-line? I think a corroborating faxed signature on Monday will be okay. Of course, can’t say for sure, but I’m sure colleges go through this all the time.</p>
<p>I would just make sure that S’s is in on time, either “signed” on line, faxed or overnighted.</p>
<p>I’m sure it will be fine if the counselor signs his part first thing Monday morning. Send S’s part in now though.</p>
<p>CMU admissions office is pretty accomodating, though somewhat disorganized. I doubt they would be concerned if you faxed it in on Monday. But to relieve your anxiety, consider emailing or calling the counselor to see if you can scan/email the form to them and they can email it back, signed by the deadline…or bring it to him/her for a signature, and then fax it in by the deadline. Otherwise, I agree-fax in your kids signed agreement by Sunday, then one with the counselors signature on Monday. You will have done all you can do, and I don’t think they are that anal, this happens often I’m sure. Definitely fax it, don’t mail it!</p>
<p>Considering that the in boxes at CMU will be filled to the gills with applications that were submitted over the weekend, faxing on Monday should be fine. As long as his main application was filed on time, I wouldn’t sweat it.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the suggestions! I will send in all the other things and then fax over the ED agreement early monday.</p>
