Forgot to attach pic

[AggieJohn]

Hey,

This is pretty stupid, but I forgot to attach my passport size photo to Georgetown's secondary. Should I worry about it? Should I send them a letter with it enclosed explaining what happened?

-feeling pretty dumb right now-

You do this.

However, realize that your chances of being accepted have probably just dropped by 0.83%.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Curses... you're probably right

John,
Here's what you do.

"To Whom It May Concern:

I encountered difficulties attaching my photo to your secondary application. Since I am very interested in Georgetown's program, I wanted to ensure that I fulfilled all requirements of the application. Attached please find my photo as requested.

My response assumes that you didn't attach it to an online form. If you forgot to mail it, just modify my response to say that you apologize for the omission or whatever.

Nice. I am printing that statement as I am typing this. You really turned that around! Thanks

I have a related question. Many apps refer to a passport-sized photo. This is smaller than standard wallet-size of course, but I am having a hard time finding a place that will print passport photos. Maybe I just havn't looked at the right places. I guess attaching a 2x3 wallet would be too big? My gut tells me to go by the letter of what they ask for. But common sense tells me that a little larger pic serves the same purpose. What do you think?

 

[Robizzle]

no, use it even if it wasn't an online form!

Excellent. Yeah, if it was not an online form we don't want them to think that you have a taping problem. I'm sure there is some medical condition that is fear of tape!

I would say: "In my excitement to apply to your prestigious program, I unintentionally omitted my passport photo before mailing your secondary. Since I am very interested in Georgetown's program, I wanted to ensure that I fulfilled all requirements of the application. Attached please find my photo as requested."

Oh, and John?

Don't write "YOUR NAME", verbatim, on the back of the picture. Just a tip.

lololol this would be awesome. then send a follow-up letter with your secondary and an explanation..

"Dear Office of Admissions,
I apologize for not attaching my secondary application to my photograph. I was so tied up with the important things that it slipped my mind. Sorry!

Sincerely,
Sexy Beast

p.s. When should I come in for an interview?"

Most convenient stores or copy places take passport photos. Walgreens, Kinkos, Rite Aide, etc

If you have the wallets, all you have to do is trim them 1/2" on each side.
Well, on the long side (the 3" side). No biggie.

Yikes! What have I done... should I send another letter explaining why I put "YOUR NAME"? I'm really worried now
