I am back in the saddle, preparing to submit my HDS application as early as tomorrow. At this time I think I can say that the most painful part of the application experience, no matter how bad the GRE was, is waiting on the letter of reference that I fear may not be submitted.
This is the sole professor I could locate. I was a good student, and I feel I had a good relationship with her. She seemed very positive about my application and said she could write me a strong letter. I was appreciative, and let her know that.
But the YDS deadline has come and gone and I am still waiting on the submission of her letter. And the HDS extended deadline is Monday. I've contacted the prof a number of times by email before and after the deadline. The most recent time she wrote to say she thought she submitted her letter to YDS. I followed up to tell her they didn't have it, and I haven't heard from her since.
I have a backup, but it wouldn't be an academic reference...which I badly need.
I am feeling so sad.

I am so sorry. I hate when screw up for someone who is depending on me - and it;s so hard when you feel like you are begging someone who basically made you a promise. Is there any way the SCHOOL would contact here - maybe say - "ur prospective candidate told us to be expecting a letter from you --- and so we are"... something like that?
