A Bit of Trouble Here

This is more of a venting/please-feel-my-pain/please-help post. So I apologize beforehand. I’ll get straight to the point.

I sent off my recommendations back in December (four of them I had to send myself and one my teacher sent himself…excessive I know, but all really amazing recs). I tracked my application and it stated that I was missing my 2nd teacher rec and my counselor rec. So I sent them all (by mail again).

Fast forward to last week, I receive an e-mail telling me it was still missing those two things and that I needed to have them in by Monday. So, last Friday I had one of my teachers and my counselor send their recs by e-mail directly to the e-mail address provided by Barnard. They both sent them off that same day (I know because they both put my name in the CC column of the e-mail so I received it too. I even had them spell out the e-mail address they sent them to to make sure. Both matched.).

Now onto yesterday. I received another e-mail telling me they still don’t have the recs and…that I’m also missing two SAT subjects (the first e-mail didn’t say this). Yeah. That wouldn’t bother me except I took they ACT and they have received my score for that (it says so in the tracking system). It also says that I have until this Friday to get my stuff in to them.

I don’t know what’s going on. Game Plan: I’ve had my teacher and counselor print off the material today. I’m going to have my mom fax it off tomorrow (I’m going to have her fax it twice too). Then if it’s still not up when I get home from school (4:00 pm) I’m going to call the office before it closes (5:00 pm).

I really, really, really (x infinity) would love to attend Barnard. So “A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.”

Any more suggestions? :)
