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?

have someone look into it. I'm sure They can track down who cashed the check.

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

Hey

I don't think they can do that if they didn't receive the application itself. Can they do that?

Did you not apply online and pay the application fee online with it? It seems ridiculous to mail your application fee with your transcripts...

that's what I was thinking. for my school I had to apply online and also pay online. then send in transcripts. but op should be fine all he has to do is contact his old school and track the transcripts. should be fine getting in a's long a's their is proof they were sent in.

I applies to a college last year that did the same thing, I sent in everything and never got a response back. I know I would have made it in too. It wasnt my first choice for a school, but it still annoyed me.
