Confused as to what to do now?

Applying to College Admission Stories

I was accepted to my dream school, I sent my commitment card, everything seemed great. Well, a couple days after we sent the check, we found out that my mom’s credit card information had been stolen at an ATM. The perpetrator withdrew all her money, and she had to cancel her card. My mother then called the school to tell them to please hold the check until she got her funds back. They said fine, no problem. Everything regarding her card was resolved today so she called the school to tell them it was okay to cash the check. The lady working in the financial aid office then forwarded her to the Dean of Admissions who proceeded to tell her (quite rudely) that my acceptance had been withdrawn 5 days ago because of our inability to follow proper enrollment terms. I could not believe the news but it became even more clear to me when I was greeted with an extremely unfriendly letter from the Dean upon my arrival home.

I was accepted to 3 other schools, only 2 of which I’d consider going to at this point. Is there any hope I may be able to commit to them now? Or am I basically stuck going to community college?

Um, idk, but I would talk to those other schools you were accepted to and see what they’ll consider. Good luck!

Is the first conversation documented in which they said it wouldn’t be a problem? If it was in an e-mail or something, you could use that as evidence that it was the school’s mistake and that you should therefore be allowed to enroll. If you’ve decided that you’d still be just as happy attending either of your other schools, I’d try and explain your situation to them as well, and see what they say.

Yeah, contact the school’s president with the full story. Being rescinded for the theft of your mother’s bank information is ridiculous.
