I recently had surgery and as a result wasn’t able to finish the Cornell Supplement on time. I submitted my common app a few days ago, had my transcripts and scores sent in ages ago, and paid the fee. Do you think if I email them and explain the circumstances that they will give me a day or two’s grace, or should I just give it up?
Email them. Personally, I would say that they will probably extend the deadline for you since you seem to have a valid medical excuse. However, no one (including you) can know for certain unless you email them and until they respond. That being said, don’t “just give it up.”
@episteme I emailed them. Should I try to submit it via Common App even before I receive a response?
Yes
Definitely try to submit it ASAP. Along with sending an email, I would recommend calling the admissions office on monday and explaining your situation.
