<p>After receiving my acceptance packet three weeks ago, I found a rejection letter on my mailbox.

Dear Sam,</p>

<p>We have arrived at the end of our application review period, and I am sorry to say that we are unable to offer you a space in this year's entering class. </p>

<p>blah blah..

<p>But in the same mail box, there was another mail sent by USC!!

Dear Sam,</p>

<p>Congratulations on your acceptance to USC's College of Letter, Arts & Sciences and, on behalf of the College, welcome to our community of scholars.

<p>Oooookay.</p>

<p>I am really confused</p>

<p>am I rejected or accepted?</p>

<p>I already received a fat packet that has housing and meal informations and other stuffs.</p>

2

<p>Uh.. that's odd. you might want to email them or something about that. I think you are in.</p>

3

<p>I know this doesn't help you, but I think you are in too</p>

4

<p>Oh wait...there's one other thing</p>

<p>on the acceptance letter
my name is written as</p>

<p>John Doe
123 Washington St.
Nowhere, AK 99999</p>

<p>but on the rejection letter it is</p>

<p>John John Doe
123 Washington Street
Nowhere, AK 99999</p>

<p>Maybe I somehow turned in two applications :|</p>

<p>I don't know..</p>

<p>I would definitely call & e-mail & have your GC call & e-mail ASAP if you're at all interested in attending USC.</p>

6

<p>That is bizarre. I hope you get this sorted out.</p>

7

<p>Definitely CALL and get this sorted out ASAP.</p>

8

<p>Then it's a good thing that your name is John Doe, and not John John Doe. lol :)
If you did send the same app w/ the same credentials twice, it's wierd how one was rejected; maybe it's some sort of name discrimination.
See you next fall!</p>

<p>haha, shows how random the admissions process is!</p>

10

<p>Any news? I hope it's not a mistake or anything...Good luck.</p>

11

<p>here's a good way to check which letter is correct..check the postmark date. the later the date, the more accurate the letter.</p>

12

<p>Even if they say you are rejected, getting an admit packet sould be enough to argue with. </p>

<p>False advertising.</p>

<p>Turned down other schools.</p>

<p>Stuff like that</p>

13

<p>juss call them.</p>

<p>let us know too! im curious.:D</p>

14

<p>Instead of calling, doesn't it seem safer for "John" to simply send in his forms? Forget about "John John" .....he'll have to attend somewhere else!</p>

<p>True riparian, but then again you don't want to show up on move-in day and have them tell you "what the h e l l are you doing here?"</p>
