Got my portfolio printed the day it had to be dispatched. Right before I was going to leave the printing shop to get it binded, I noticed that none of the pages were aligned with each other (front/back). Freaked out and started crying. Print shop guys freaked out even more, fixed the mistake and printed it all out again, but the delay meant that I barely got to FedEx in time for the last dispatch to leave.
Portfolio arrived at the university just in time and application was listed as complete. A couple of weeks ago, right infront of my eyes, as I was checking my application status, the portfolio went from received to MISSING. I probably sent emails to all the addresses I could possibly find on the department page. Was changed back to received the next day, but that was one of the longest days of my life.
