Deadline was three weeks ago, and I sent it before that. They have not received it yet, nor the check that was with it. How else will life :daisy: on me?

Why would they cancel your financial aid?Quote:

But why would they do that? If it got lost in the mail but they know you are coming, why would they cancel it?Quote:

Too much staff...too little communication. And they told me explicitly to send by mail. : /Quote:

Just keep calling and emailing them. Daily. It will show them you're still interested and intending to go there, and that this situation wasn't your fault and out of your hand. Best of luck Motep.
Has not worked so far.Quote:

never said money on mail :O
Got the letter from the admissions office today...they dropped me.
Very sorry to hear Motep. Do you have any backup schools, probably too late at this point?
Maybe take some transferable classes at a community college so you can fill some prereqs?
It is indeed too late, and I dont know if they would accept transfer credits from an out of state community college.
I remember you were applying to Yale, so you obviously have the stuff to go to a great school, which is what you will do, even if it is later than you expected. :bow:
One can hope. Thank you for your kind words.Quote:

Work is the plan. Not like I have travel buddies- as not only am I moving 2000 miles, but all of my friends are off to college or the military- and I dont care to have a lone voyage.
I applied to the University of Washington.
That's a dang shame Motep, but at least you have a viable plan B.
I'm sorry you didn't get in but believe me when I say you'll learn far more in one year working than in your whole academic career.
This is why I'm glad I never went to university.
this has nothing to do with universities... perhaps if the people at the post office has proper education XD
Couldn't you apply for the spring semester and take summer classes to make up? I remember when I transferred to Penn State back in 06, as long as I had under 18 credits at the time of spring semester, they treated me like a regular incoming freshman.Quote:
