Should I bother applying?

<p>I recently realized I did not give my counselor an official transcript for Notre Dame, so the earliest she can mail her counselor packet is January 5th. </p>

<p>However, my teacher sent in her rec letter on time and I plan to submit the rest of my application (SAT scores, essays, application fee) on time as well. </p>

<p>I noticed that the site says Notre Dame, "will begin to notify those students who are missing a portion of their applications beginning in mid- February...If [they] receive the missing portions of your application in a timely manner, the evaluation of your application will not be negatively affected."</p>

<p>Do you think I can slide past with that? </p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>Don’t worry. Submit your application. I was missing most of my application (recommendations and transcript) until late January, and I still got accepted.</p>

<p>Yes, I know someone who actually did not apply until January 4th (i.e. sent nothing in until then) and was accepted.</p>
