<p>I applied regular admission for one of my colleges, and they ask for two recommendation letters. I sent all my information except for 1 letter in a big envelope. Afterwards, I sent the other one and everything seemed OK until I looked online. It said that the second one was not received. I decided to call them and tell them what was happening and the lady told me that everything was received and the website takes a few weeks to update since so many applications are ccoming in and I'll be fine. So all my friends got their decision except for me. I called in to see what was going on and now they say they did not receive the second one. I'm positive I mailed it(lost the receipt) and the lady I talked to said they already received it. Apparently it is too late to send it in, and I'm screwed because I really want to go here and now I can't because of a "miscommunication". Anyone else ever went through this?</p>
<p>Get your recommender to send another copy of the letter to the school, specifically to the director of admissions with cover letter saying this was done months/weeks ago. You send a separate letter saying the same and send both letters separately via express mail or fed express.</p>
<p>Then ask your counselor to call admissions. Write down what happened and what you have done. Have her call a couple of days after the letters are to be received. </p>
<p>Most every school I know sends out missives of some sort with missing info on it. I’m surprised you did not get notification, </p>
<p>Good luck,</p>
<p>OMG - this happened to my D at one of the schools she was applying to (Swarthmore, I think). She was told the same thing but opted to have a new one sent anyway the day she made the call. Really not sure if they ended up with two but didn’t take the chance.</p>
