babycakes Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 So, I'm applying for a MAT program (masters in teaching.) SO, in my foray into collecting addresses, forms and letters for JHUs application (my #2 school) I just realized two weeks before my deadline and after 2/3 of my LOR submitted my letters, that... I did not add a form. This form is two pages of ranking my abilities to do this or that, do they trust me with their kids, etc. Now how could that be? WELL FOR THE FACT THAT JHU HAS LIKE A HALF DOZEN PAGES DETAILING ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS BUT NO MENTION OF A LOR FORM ON ALL BUT ONE WHICH IS THE MOST BURIED LINK OF ALL THE ONES I ACCESSED THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. So, I feel reluctant to pester my recommenders to send in a separate LOR form because that's MY BAD. I should have read every damn single page on this one program. I do have the opportunity to slip in this other form for 2/3 of my recommenders but I think it'll look bad on me to spring it on them last minute like this. It was already a headache trying to get them all to submit on time and corralling up all my other forms and shit the last thing they'd probably want to see is another form. This is the only school I made this fluke (THANKS OBAMA!) I know that schools will see exceptions such as a missing class but seeing that most schools have a scoring system on applications not having this form could possibly hurt me. Will this hurt my chances? Should I even finish my application? What should I do? My stats are pretty solid so far and as far as I can tell my LORs are shining. Compared to a lot of other people who'd consider this program, I'd say I am a good solid top 10% of applications. I applied to six programs. This is getting cross-posted to reddit too.
