STEM OPT Rejected because it was incomplete

Hello Guys

I had applied for my STEM OPT Extension which was expiring on Feb 4 where as i sent my application along with the documents in Jan 17th
But USCIS send back my application saying "case was rejected because it was improperly filed i-765" on Feb 6th
I seem to have made a mistake in the application ( forgot to check the "Reason for applying" Checkbox)

Now i have resubmitted my application with the help of an attorney who drafted a letter saying "it was a technical error and its extreme circumstance that i could not correct my application and resubmit on the time as  i received my package later than my OPT end data"

what are my chances ? What can be my back up plan ?

 My attorney said it is 50-50 but i am considering to register for a new course and transfer my SEVIS to stay on status irrespective of the STEM extension application .

if i want to register and transfer for new course how long will i have to make that SEVIS transition ? 

can i transfer my SEVIS if my STEM extension application is denied ?

what will be the best course of action ?

Thanks in advance
