@Ram Sabaratnam @Amma Usman @Jaysen having a bit of a crisis here, I refreshed by broweser and my Stephenson Harwood app submitted when I wasnt finished :( I emailed grad rec to explain that if they dont have time to reply before the deadline, I'll make a different account to submit and leave a note on the new application - do you think that is okay and will this put me at a disadvantage do you think? thanks guys! from a worried applicant :')
Can I just ask how did this happen? after I hit submit on my application page, I was sent a link to my email which said only if I click on it, my application will actually be submitted. Once I clicked I then received a verification email which confirmed my application was submitted.

I am wondering now if you didn’t click on the link, perhaps your application wasn’t even sent at all the first time around?

    I had already confirmed my email before cause I submitted a diff application with vantage 🥲
