Am I screwed? Messed up on my college app...

Applying to College
1

<p>I applied to Penn State Main Campus (rolling admissions) as a safety school. I just got word today that I was accepted (yay!) but upon further reading of the letter found that I was accepted to the SUMMER 2007 session. I thought I signed up for the FALL 2007 session?? </p>

<p>I quickly went online to check my application and it clearly says I applied for the SUMMER 2007 session. I knew when I applied that it would be impossible for me to do summer session, so I applied to the fall session (or so I thought...) I have NO idea how this mix-up occurred. I double checked and triple checked all the applications I sent out, so I have NO idea how I could have so easily skipped over something like this.</p>

<p>And now I am really nervous. </p>

<p>Is there any way I can get pushed back into the FALL 2007 session? Or am I screwed? (since it is rolling admission, will I have to re-apply and then risk not getting in again?) Is there any way of getting around this? I know this is my safety school and I shouldn't worry, but AHHHH!!!</p>

<p>That's what you get for using it as a safety ;)</p>

3

<p>call them and try to contact their administration department</p>

4

<p>CALL THEM
stop sitting around here complaining and wondering, we cant do anything, but instead, while you're on here, spots are filling!!</p>

<p>I want to call them right now, but figured the admissions office wouldnt be open at 10:15 at night??</p>

<p>Im going to call first thing in the morning.</p>

<p>I cant believe I was so STUPID!!!!</p>

<p>Oh, jeez, I'm sure you're ok, though! This is a big deal, and they might need to review your application again, but if it was a safety school I am sure you are probably still in and they would /love/ to have you. Also, you calling and even wanting to correct this shows you have some interest in attending, so that could even work in your favor a bit...even though they probably think you're a ditz, now ;). I really wouldn't worry too much. A safety is a safety and it's still early. If you are in-state, you're pretty much guarunteed admission if you've got decent grades. Heck, I know a kid from Maryland who wrote "I will never go to Penn State" in his essay, and he got accepted! I think this is the least of the stupid things you could do.</p>

<p>I swear Im not a ditz!! ;)</p>

<p>I am calling first thing in the AM to explain the situation. I am just praying that everything will get worked out. I am in state, am well above all their stats, and have alums in the family, so I really hope they will still accept me to the fall semester.</p>

<p>I STILL cant believe I did something this stupid...</p>

<p>Thanks for the support guys!</p>
