The bad part is that SBS is not even a back up school. I am weighing it just as heavily as even HBS, plus I have so many relatives in England - studying there might feel more like home! I hope the school understands that my referrer was having a bad day....after all,we are all humans! I did get a response from SBS Adcom. The form was reset, and thankfully the application and recommendations were submitted just in time. What I am keeping my fingers crossed for now is that SBS does not take badly to what happened. I must have harassed the poor Admissions team already several times....
*sigh*
I am going to become insane by the end of September!

My referrer recently sent the HBS letter to Oxford's SBS! She has the letter I helped her with for Oxford but she accidentally mixed up HBS and SBS. Does anyone know how SBS takes this? Has this happened to anyone before, with regards SBS? I am very worried! Deadline is in 2 days.
Poor
BooYaah I am really sorry this happened to you I just cringed when I read this. I wish I could be more optimistic but I don't see Oxford being cool with this. This is especially the case with schools that are kind of a backup plan.
One of my applicants submitted an essay with Wharton stuff in the Berkeley application goals essay and ended up going to Wharton but did not get any traction with Berkeley.
I would just plan on submitting another application frankly. Hopefully one where you've already written some of the content and it wouldn't be a huge incremental effort. And also be around the same ranking as Oxford... so you're still spreading out the risk
