Oh no!

<p>So I used my pin number to check my status and it says everything is there but my 2nd teacher recommendation! I don’t know what to do about this. Have they just not filed it yet, or did one of my teachers not send it? And if that is the case, how do I know which teacher didn’t send it?!? I am totally freaking out right now. Help!</p>

<p>It happened to me when I applied ED and a classmate who applied RD. Email your counselor and have him/her call the school and check to see which teacher's rec is missing so that another copy can be sent out. Amherst didn't mind in my case and I'm sure they haven't even begun reviewing the applicants yet. However, take care of it tomorrow if you can.</p>

<p>Don't worry. This happened to my daughter Early Decision at another school. The teacher had gotten confused about the deadline. The counselor called and the admissions people said it would be fine for the school to fax the recommendation. The counselor faxed it in and then followed it up with the signed paper original in the mail. </p>

<p>My daughter was accepted. So don't worry-- it won't be held against you. Just be sure to get on the case.</p>

<p>I'm eswartz89's classmate. ;) The same thing happened to me last week, but when I checked today the second recommendation had arrived as well. Chances are they're overwhelmed with mail and just haven't filed it yet.</p>

<p>There is also a very, very small chance that the loss of your recommendation is a harbinger of the impending apocalypse.</p>
