Dear Brianna,
The Admissions Committee has carefully considered your application for admission for the Fall 2006 Semester. At this time, your current academic record is not strong enough to grant full admission to American University. We do believe, however, in your commitment to succeed at American and therefore would like to extend an invitation to you to begin your enrollment at American as a non-degree student.
Enrollment as a non-degree student will provide you with personalized advising, participation in our New Student Orientation and the opportunity to live on campus. You will register for regular academic courses and up to 30 semester hours of undergraduate course work taken in non-degree status may be applied toward a degree. After successful completion of at least 24 semester hours, we will reconsider your enrollment status.
If you wish to accept our offer to enroll as a non-degree student beginning in the Fall 2006 Semester, please complete the enclosed Enrollment Agreement and Housing Application Form and return it in the envelope provided along with the required deposit. We look forward to having you at American University and hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to further your educated goals.
Yeah.
This freakin school. First a “YEAH WE'LL GET YOU IN FREE RIDE, NO PROBLEMO!”. Then a rejection letter. Then an acceptance letter. Then a HA-sorry-we-take-back-the-acceptance-letter-and-now-you're-deferred letter. And now this. Hmm.
So first off...wtf is a non-degree student?! Isn't the point of attending college to get a degree? And I would still be paying...for classes..that don't even directly count towards a degree?...Does anyone else see anything weird about this?!
And friggin American...ok maybe if you were a freakin Ivy League hidiho or something, ok, my grades aren't that amazing, I understand. But I was CLEARLY ABOVE QUALIFIED for your freakin school. And somehow Brandeis managed to let me in. Annnnd you suck.
Ok aannnnnd ending the ventage ----> NOW.
