<p>I applied to a program. It required a recommendation from a teacher. It was due last Friday. I just asked him today to check in that he had submitted. He said no, he'll do it as soon as possible. What should I do now?</p>
<p>Contact Admissions as soon as possible and communicate what happened. </p>
<p>The three things you need to do in any crisis are
- Communicate
- Communicate
- Communicate</p>
<p>^ What about communicate? I think you might’ve left that out. That’s always important</p>
<p>The thing I’m really questioning is: was it my responsibility? Was it my fault that he didn’t submit it on time? Because everywhere it says I am responsible for having my recommendation submitted on time. But I’m a bit frustrated, because I told my teacher and then sent him a follow up email to remind him two days before it was due (the form is a simple; 5 min). And he didn’t do it. I feel like if I contacted administration, I would sound like I’m whining, because after all, it was my responsibility, and I don’t want to be blaming it on someone else. Especially because they know turned in my application on the day it was due… (Yes, I procrastinated. Never again -.-)
What should I say in my email to administration?</p>
