<p>I just sent in my rmhc asia scholarship through fedex and I remembered just now that I didn’t put my highschool counselor’s phone number on it. Will my application be considered incomplete and not be reviewed??? Maybe they’ll assume that she did not wish to give out that info, or could it be on my transcript? Should I ask my teacher to email me a rec letter and fedex a whole new application???!!
Or do you think the guy at fedex will give me back the package and let me fix it???
I just looked at the RMHC website and it says the deadline has been extended to the 17th so can I send another one???</p>
<p>Seriously, does anyone have any idea?
Should I just send another one???
Isn’t it illegal to try to fix/reopen mail that’s already been stamped or whatever??</p>
<p>I don’t think your application will be considered incomplete, but I am not too sure. If anything, if you are selected they have your contact information so if they need that phone number they can get it from you in the future. Also the only reason I would see for them to contact your counselor is of notification that you have won the scholarship since the financial info is backed by tax forms and your grades are backed by the transcript you sent.</p>
<p>Also, is fedex a reliable way to send an application? Especially if you’re NOT mailing something internationally? I asked the guy to send the app using priority or whatever fedex calls it and payed $8, however he did not give me a receipt or ask for contact information. Should he have given me a receipt and asked for anything besides the envelope I was sending?
Also does anyone know what will happen if I send another application in? B/c now I’m becoming paranoid that I didn’t write down my school info in the general info section like address and such, even though I could’ve sworn about an hour ago that I did.</p>
<p>seriously though my envelope is just sitting in the fedex store since it’s president’s day would the guy who works there possibly let me reopen and correct the info? I wouldn’t mind paying again.</p>
<p>Don’t assume that because its President’s Day that FedEx isn’t working…the USPS gets the day off; not sure about FedEx. I will say that my UPS guy was out and about making deliveries, so I would guess that FedEx was out as well and your envelope may already be gone.</p>
<p>That being said, there’s no law broken if you re-open a FedEx envelope to fix whatever is inside. I doubt there is anything like the federal anti-tampering laws that govern the USPS.</p>
<p>Anytime you send something FedEx you should be given a tracking number which is then used to keep tabs on the item and demonstrate delivery. If you didn’t get a tracking number, you will have a very tough time knowing whether that document every arrived.</p>
<p>If I go over to ask for a receipt tomorrow then would I get a tracking number or anything? Does this mean there is a good chance that my envelope won’t go through?</p>
<p>email them the phone number of your counselor and explain that you forgot to put it on the form.</p>
<p>But if they have not received my application yet is it possible to send an email correcting it? Also I’m very worried about what msmayor said, is it likely that my application won’t be sent? I’d really like to just send an entirely new application since the deadline was extended till tomorrow, but I’m afraid of being disqualified from the competition.</p>
<p>Wait…I never said it “likely won’t be sent”. What I said was you won’t be able to know for sure whether it arrived, because you won’t have the tracking number to check the package’s progress. Even then, you could find out if the school received it by calling, but sometimes even that can be difficult because of the volume of mail a school receives at this time.</p>
<p>It wasn’t sent to a school it was sent to Ronald McDonald House of Charities Asia, and the deadline is today Feb. 17. That’s why I’m freaking out.</p>
<p>If the deadline is today, there is nothing you can do now, short of paying big bucks to send it by same day delivery (via airline flight).</p>
<p>Or, you might be able to fax a copy to a local Kinkos and have them deliver it.</p>
<p>Well, it has to be postmarked by today, and the only thing stopping me from sending a second copy of my whole application to RMHC Asia is that I’m afraid once they see I’ve sent 2 applications, even though they’re for the exact same scholarship and not for 2 different ones, I’ll be disqualified.</p>
<p>^ Well did you eventually send it?</p>
<p>And I really don’t think not having the counselor’s phone # really is a problem. I would let it go and they could contact you if they really need it…or email the counselor?</p>
<p>I sent it in safely, no worries :)</p>
