Have my chances been ruined?

<p>So I got an email from a school I applied to and they have waived my EC recommendation. Will this lower my chances of acceptance since they want a complete picture? If they really wanted to know me, I am sure they got a sense of who I am by reading my essays which I poured my soul into ( they are some of the best pieces of writing I have ever produced). Also I need financial aid and I just found out from my father that he did not complete the PFS form although I had constantly reminded him to do so. Am I completely screwed? I thought everything was going to be okay, but everything is suddenly caving in on me and I am just afraid of M10.</p>

<p>That is not good, but (if possible) ask your dad to call the FA offices of schools you are applying to (to explain/apologize and assure them that he will get it in this week). I called one FA office with a question this week about a late form (not the PFS itself, though) and was told they were still working on returning families so my late form didn’t matter. Maybe they will be similarly forgiving if your dad apologizes. I wouldn’t worry about the EC thing. Good luck!</p>
