    i hate vantage and i hate myself hahaha stupid thing didn't load and my application did not get sumbitted :)
    Ah maybe try to explain to grad rec?
    Some ppl missed HSF Kramer & Goodwin as they had any issues when submitting their app through Vantage, but they weren't allowed to submit after the deadline, I guess GR team won't compensate such a filthy mistake when there isn't high stake such as cloud service down or like TS, conflicting deadline.
