There are times when we mess up, big time! I went out of town for a couple of days and blogged some great stuff for ENotes. I swear I typed them in, scheduled them and bounced off for a worry free week. Today I happend to check and no blogs. Not a single one. And there is no back up for those blogs. They. Are. Gone. Which leads me to today’s topic:

Double-Checking Electronic Submissions.

Electronic submissions are a great advancement in the scholarship process. It used to be most materials had to be copied, placed carefully in a large envelope and shipped off to scholarship committees. Now, a quick copy, paste and click and you’re on your way to college cash.

Yet, one wrong click can lead to an embarrassing mistake. Or worse, no submission. Most sites are equipped with the handy email or number confirmation that your application has been received. If confirmation is not available or you don’t receive one, there is nothing wrong with a short, professional email asking if the application was received.

As for me, well it’s back to the blogging board - and pray I can remember all the stuff I wrote!
