<p>What if something doesn't make it to a school by a deadline, but my application has been received? Will the school notify me/consider me for that deadline?</p>
<p>depends on the school and the postmark date...</p>
<p>I was thinking more along the lines of something like a teacher recommendation getting lost in the mail or a school not sending a transcript...something out of my power. How do schools generally handles those types of things?</p>
<p>schools are usually pretty understanding about this.
as long as you call admissions and explain what happened you should be fine.</p>
<p>If it's out of your control, admissions offices are usually surprisingly understanding. You should call them, though.</p>
