Advertisement or not you're always supposed to check to see what they are offering if that were the case. Sorry op but your dad's a dick, any normal parent would've opened the letter from college or left it for you to see later. I'm sorry that happened to you op.

My mom did the same thing :/

Ur life sux sooooo much I'm totally glad I'm not u

Same thing happened to me. I just assumed I was accepted and attended. I finished two semesters before I received the trespass warning.

I hate to say this but I recall reading at least a couple of FMLs where someone's parent(s) threw away a college *acceptance* letter for whatever perverse reason--either they didn't want their kid going to college at all, or they felt they couldn't afford the costs of the college he or she had been accepted to, or whatever. :-(

What kind of backwards-ass dump is this that uses old-fashioned snail mail. If Harvard "likes" you on Facebook, you're in, and then they tweet you your diploma at #HarvardAlumni.

Maybe this is his way of making sure you cant leave ;)

Wow! I guess you're screwed. Better clean off those work boots and mend them coveralls because theres a lot of ditch diggin to do. Or you could call and tell them it got thrown away and ask for another.

Colleges usually email you along with writing a letter. Check your inbox.

Admissions will send you another letter.
