Help help help!

My computer has been down for two weeks, so I did not get the email from Harvard stating that I was missing things from my application and that the missing items were due yesterday!

I was missing my supplement and two ACT scores, as well as my payment.
I sent in my supplement tonight, my two ACT scores tonight, and will pay tomorrow ($75 is a lot for my family).

Have I completely screwed up my chances? Especially considering the fact that I was emailed about an interview this morning?

Harvard does not read an applicants file until it is complete. I would check the portal today (https://admweb.fas.harvard.edu/ha/Ap...cantFrame.html) to see if they received the supplement and ACT scores, although the scores may take a few days to get there.

If the application fee is a lot for your family, you can apply for a waiver. See: Harvard College Admissions § Applying: Requirements

"If paying the application fee would cause a hardship for your family, please request a fee waiver. You or your guidance counselor may use one of the official forms or may simply write a short letter asking us to waive your fee."

If you're really worried, call them or send them an email explaining the situation. Why did you not send the supplement and ACT scores before, though?

Supplement: I thought I had sent it in, but apparently it wasn't received. And I recently re-took my ACT so that was just sent in.
