<p>SO I was laying in bed last night at around two AM and it hit me. I forgot to send in my supplement. So I ran downstairs and sent it in, except its now 4 days past the deadline. WOuld this really hurt my chances?</p>
<p>Yes . .</p>
<p>Can I somehow explain to them that it slipped my mind, because I did have it ready and everything long before it was due.</p>
<p>You can try, but it can go both ways. I'm not sure if it's better to contact them by phone or writing. Phone might seem more personal - if and only if you're speaking with teh admission officer resposnible for your file.</p>
<p>Better not to bring it to their attention. You have probably already submitted most if not all of your applications and"forgot" to complete one. Doesn't look good; therefore just complete and submit ASAP</p>
<p>i'm not sure about this "better not to bring it to their attention" thing. if, IF it was already brought to their attention, and they knew that the applicant had that kind of mindset, they'd be more turned off than not.</p>
<p>honesty goes a long way. </p>
<p>i admitted my mistake to wash u, they didnt give a crap.</p>
<p>though granted it was not as severe as this.</p>
