First time poster - I'm kind of worried about something. I turned in my Columbia MSW app the day before it was due, but had everything in - transcripts, essay, application fee, and 2 of my recommendations. My third recommender decided to screw me over and not send his in until the 19th of Jan, 4 days after the deadline. I sent an email to admissions about this but received a generic response back. I assumed it would be okay since literally everything else was in on time. Then today, after reading this thread, I checked online and it said my application was submitted on 1/14 but was not complete until 1/26. Does this mean I officially missed the deadline and will risk not getting in? I don't know what would have delayed the completion of my application to that date. I also assume I shouldn't hear back from them until much later? This really sucks if I somehow messed up my chances. I've also applied to UChicago, BU, BC, and NYU but haven't heard back. Any help on this would be appreciated!
