That’s a new one to me, as far as I can recall. They have all the work, right? The project and written statement, the survey part of what the teacher was supposed to submit, and the rec itself. So I would be surprised if there is an issue, because you submitted the project and supporting material, and just forgot the “paperwork”. But I think all you can do is send the app portion you omitted and apologize that it didn’t make it through at the same time as the submission itself, which was on time.

Unless you win, you will probably never know if they took it anyway or not. I think they will, because as I mentioned earlier Tulane is always on the side of the student in situations like this as far as I have observed. They are NOT sitting there licking their chops and “heh-heh-hehing” in glee because they get to screw a student. Nothing in that for them. They certainly have to be fair to all students as well, and I can’t say they won’t make a good faith decision that this is more than a technicality and so it is too big an exception, but I don’t think so. You submitted a DHS project and supporting materials on time and in good faith.

It isn’t like you needed more time to fill out your name and address!! It makes no sense compared to the reverse situation if you had submitted the teacher stuff and the application, but not the project. Even if truly inadvertent that, of course, would be unfair to give anyone extra time for that.
