Technical difficulties

[Chiqui74]

One of my letter-writers, who waited until the last minute to submit, is having difficulties with three universties that use the same contractor for their applications.  I have done everything I can and he still missed a deadline (it was two days ago).  I can only do so much, and the other two professors didn't have issues.  He won't even email tech support.   I'm at my wits end and I don't know what else to do.  The thing is that two of these schools are in my very top choices and they don't accept physical letters.

 

I'm just venting, I guess.  This whole process is so draining, I don't know how people can do multiple cycles and keep their sanity.

Have you considered having another person write the final letter and quickly getting it sent in? If this professor submits his letter late it still should not be a problem, and is a somewhat common occurrence from what I'm gathering (and in my own experience). I had a very similar problem but know that this is not your fault so try not to let it stress you out too much!
