Today, I called the college of my dreams to check the status of my application. Turns out they "never received" copies of my transcripts. They did however cash the $70 application fee that was mailed with them. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I mailed out a college application that is going to another country. I paid $250 for the application and $11 for shipping. I just realized that I forgot to sign the bottom of the application. FML
Today, I went to apply for classes at a college my parents signed me up to do dual credit with. Too bad they used my sister's social security number so I don't get credit for my old classes and my new application got thrown out. FML
Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML
Today, after waiting 3 months to see if I got the job I had applied for, I was told that they never received my application. Turns out that the email address that they told me to send it to was not being checked anymore and that they would be happy to consider me for the following year. FML
Today, I went to see my guidance counselor. I was supposed to hear from my college about a scholarship by October 3rd. I was worried since it was already the 2nd so I went to talk to her. She never turned in my nomination. Goodbye $80,000 scholarship. FML
Today, I received a rejection letter from a college that I'd applied to 6 years ago. FML
Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML
Today, I checked my university financial account to discover I owed them over $1000. The reason? They had apparently given me too much money when I applied for a loan and now want it back. Oh, and I spent my loan money on books and a laptop for school. FML
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Today, I found out that my dad, thinking it was an advertisement, threw away a letter from the college I applied to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's the college education system for you!! Your lucky you got to use a check, most colleges want money orders now for app fees. Those sneaky *******...MOs are harder to trace than checks so you should actually feel good about this cause if it were the other way around you'd be SOL

OMG! FYL, that's so horrible! Counselors are so selfish for refusing to switch to online transcripts. Sending in the mail can endanger students' futures!! why are people so worried about the $70? I'm more concerned about the fact that OP doesn't get to go to their dream school!

oh geez, get real. Sending mail isn't endangering anybody's future. Just send it by registered post then you can track it.

wtf? The university I work at won't accept faxes. A fax is a copy, not the original document. We require either the original document or a certified copy. A fax is neither.

Hey dumbass your school sends in transcripts not you only the application could have been sent with the fee. Other than that they probably wouldn't have excepted it if it was sent with you. Go to your school and tell them to send your transcripts to the schools you want it might not be to late. Although I doubt youll read this so to whoever does.

I can say from 2-1/2 years of experience that the people who work in college offices have no clue what the **** they're doing. It doesn't matter if it's a prestigious private institute or a run-down community college (I've done both); the office workers are clueless. -IMP ;) :)

if your application fee was sent in with your transcript, my guess is that they weren't official transcripts, which most schools require. Whoever got your check and transcript probably just threw it away because it was no good.
