how do u call an admissions rep an asshole without getting ur app put directly in the reject pile?
so basically i got a letter in the mail today saying my duke app is incomplete. okay, great. so i call the number on the letter and talk to a lady who tells me they havent received either of my teachers recs. i ask what i should do and basically she tells me "don't be upset" (she can hear that im crying) i think its too late for early decision, but if you would like i can talk to someone else for you. (yes, please) so this guy emails me and tells me to call him. so i do, and then he proceeds to tell me that "we sent out an email 3 weeks ago informing any students of incomplete apps" "yes well i never received an email, if I had I would have sent any missing parts" "well if you've received the email i just sent 5 minutes ago, thats the email our servers have and well i'm just saying it is a 50/50 chance the email we sent 3 weeks ago you should have received".
okay first of all:
1. don't you think that if you applied to a school early decision and they told you your app was incomplete and basically it's too late, that you would be just a little upset too?
2. i'm applying to your school early decision aka you are my top choice and i will be paying you 42 thousand dollars per year to go to your school if you accept me
3. if i replied to this email within 5 minutes, don't you think i would have replied to the other email 3 weeks ago with same timeliness?
4. if you had sent me an email 3 weeks ago, and you are my top choice college, don't you think i would have gotten my teacher apps sent in again?
5. if you are my top choice college, and i am crying on the phone to you, a copmlete stranger, don't you think that maybe, JUST MAYBE, i didn't get the email?
6. don't you think it's a BIT unfair for me to be punished that my teacher recs weren't received? I legally gave away my right to see them. it's not my fault if the teachers didn't get them in on time. thats not my part of the application.
7. if i only have the option of "we'll simply forward your application to our regular decision", then dont write in your email "please call me to discuss your OPTIONS i look forward to hearing from you"
what a fucking asshole.
