What happens if a college loses/never receives a mailed letter of recommendation?

<p>I applied to the University of Maryland by the priority decision deadline, and both my transcript and letter of recommendation were actually mailed exactly one week prior to that date. I checked the document tracker, and my application is complete except for the letter of recommendation. The transcript, which was mailed out at the same time (but in a different envelope) as the letter of recommendation, was received. What do I do now?</p>

<p>Turn yourself into the authorities.</p>
