That’s unfortunate. Even if you really were being annoying (which I doubt you were), they shouldn’t have snapped at you like that. Now they just make themselves look bad and unwelcome.
@mathman1201: That’s odd. If it happens again, maybe you should ask for your mom or dad to speak to them instead. I’m not sure why, but sometimes, if an adult is the one talking instead of a kid, the other person listens more. Sounds odd, but it happens to me a lot.
I know what you’re talking about, but I get very little support in the whole BS process. That means it’s all up to me to call everyone, email/reply emails, make sure to attend interviews, complete apps, etc. @thelittleswimmer
Lol yeah, I wasn’t being annoying. I was trying to be calm and polite. Oh well. I don’t mind, if the problem gets resolved. @goldenfygg
@mathman1201: Oh, okay. If the FA situation at Lville keeps on getting worse, you may want to consider asking the director of financial aid.
Sorry for getting this thread off topic! We can rant about Lville somewhere else.
Thanks for the advice. I’ll do that, if it continues. @thelittleswimmer
@mathman1201 Well, good luck! Hope everything works out!
Does anyone have any actual letters? I am curious what they say verbatim. I know it is a weird request.
PS: @TheStig2 Are you a parent or applicant? lol it doesn’t matter, but omg i love top gear as well. Some say, he spends his time on college confidential, For all we know, He’s called the Stig2!
@vanillapuff - I’m a parent, DD will be first time potential boarder, DS watches show and I got sucked in during a “marathon” and now whole family is addicted!
@vanillapuff I kept a few of the online emails that I received as a parent. The actual printed copies are kept at home by my son. If you are interested, here is a glimpse of what some of the schools sent last year (redacted to protect identity):

Thank you so much!! @sgopal2
What an exciting batch of emails to have received!
@sgopal2 Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! @sgopal2 that was exactly what I was asking for.
Even weirder request, does anyone know what the rejection /waitlist emails look like?
Anyone counting down to March 10th?
@vanillapuff: If you search through this thread there was a lot of discussion on rejection/wait list letters.
@thelittleswimmer yeah, I know. I meant as in actual letters like sgpopal posted since I have yet to find any.
I think I am asking too much of you guys though lol
@vanillapuff: Hmm…I just went through the thread. I thought someone had copied and pasted waitlist/rejection letters here. I’ll keep looking.
I can say from experience that the waitlist letters vary, even from year 1 to year 2 the letter from the same school changed. It’s kind of weird, actually, how some schools congratulate you for making the waitlist and others apologize for it.
