<p>Hi everyone, I need advise on what to do.</p>
<p>Here is my dilemma:</p>
<p>I recently contacted SMC about my I-20 (I am international student), and they told me that my application was not not completed by the July 1st deadline. </p>
<p>I was so sure that it was complete, so I asked them what was missing. They received the essay, international application, and other materials I had sent them, but nothing from my school (like transcripts, recommendations, etc).</p>
<p>According to my school and the post office, the package sent from my high school had arrived at SMC on June 17th. </p>
<p>The people at the International Student Center just can't find it. </p>
<p>The problem is that since SMC considers my application "incomplete" they have pushed it for Spring Admission... in February... I DO NOT under any circumstance want to wait around for 7 months. </p>
<p>I am also wondering why my officer did not send me an email telling me that my application was incomplete since it arrived a few weeks ahead of the deadline... They are telling me that it is too late for me to send in other copies of the transcripts to be considered for Fall semester...</p>
<p>I just can't believe the injustice of this since this didn't happen because I was negligent or irresponsible. </p>
<p>I'm just stunned...</p>
<p>Is there anything I can do to be admitted for fall semester?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.</p>
