Yet Another Fish

Thanks for the tip - the upload worked in IE but not in firefox for whatever reason.

Good ideas - closed a background adobe process - but still didn't work. The file is not corrupt in any way as far as I can tell.

I am in the process of filling out an online application, and I have to submit a pdf. The website only accepts pdf's, but apparently not ones I try to upload . The pdf I am trying to upload is under the size limit. Image of the situation: http://i.imgur.com/it6kX.jpg So I was wondering if anyone has had problems uploading pdf's into grad school applications and could offer some advice. I will probably be contacting the school to let them know about my problem, but I was hoping I could look like a dunce here instead of in an email to the school.

I actually emailed them about this very question - my deadline is the 18th. This was their response:

I had another question related to the 2010 NSF GRFP. It has to do with the reference writer deadlines. I thought that reference letters were due the same day that the application was, which for me is November 18th. This is what I told one of my reference writers, but when they got the email from the NSF, they thought that the email said the deadline was the 22nd. So, what gives? Would it be possible to create a dummy email to send a dummy reference request to, just to see the wording on the email?
