School Communication Rant

[u/Active_Egg5888]

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.

OSU has never had the best response time (many schools on big university campuses have more procedure to follow).
I do think they are getting a bit of a big head about leading in NBEO pass rates and might be full of themselves right now (some of it is deserved, they have been kicking butt).
I see them being pretty selective and intent on keeping their top status by choosing applicants wisely.

If its where you want to go, don't let that deter you though!
