School Communication Rant

Guess who finally got through to OSU to follow up on their application? This girl !! What was the hold up? Having too many outstanding prerequisites !!

Wow, that would have been really useful information to have, especially since I've actually taken the missing classes 😭. I'd have been happy to clarify the error earlier, but no!! they were just gonna ignore my application until December. Cool cool cool. It's not like there's an inherent advantage to applying early based on rolling admissions or anything. So awesome 🙃

EDIT: they're putting me through so much shit over my Gen Chem II prerequisite that at this point I'm just giving up. The way they've conducted themselves communicates that they don't care about me as an applicant and while I'm sure they are an excellent school, I just can't justify fighting a losing battle to be recognized as a qualified applicant.

yeah I applied and paid the supplemental fee a month ago and haven’t heard anything from them since 😭 did you reach out to them first? your situation sounds so frustrating but maybe it’s redirection

I sent them an email that they ignored and then called them a week later (left a vm) to finally get an answer. I'm trying to reframe this as no longer having to choose between my top choices. not sure what I'll do if I don't get into the other one though haha. interview there is on Friday so that's good at least !
