<p>It is December 26 - Deadline for many of CommonApp colleges is January 2.
School is closed for winter break till January 7.</p>
<p>I have submitted everything on my part - and am ONLY missing the SECONDARY SCHOOL REPORT</p>
<p>FIVE DAYS LATE "Secondary School Report (Couselor Rec)"
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? HOW MUCH DOES IT MATTER?</p>
<p>*applying to Duke, Rice, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Melon, and Northwestern</p>
<p>= HELP !</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. Mail it after. Alternatively, don't send it at all. When they ask you for it, say it got lost in the mail and fax it to them.</p>
<p>Remember, many colleges are closed till Jan. 2 anyway. Then they have mountains of mail to process and sort. As long as you get it sent when school reopens, I wouldn't worry. Also, lots of times kids are informed that something is missing from their file and they have to ask their school to resend it - things get lost. Admissions Committees will start reading files that are complete, and when yours is, it will get added to the stack. Don't worry.</p>
