<p>The situation is as follows. I applied as a transfer to St.Johns University in New York in August for Fall 07. They have rolling admission and the application was available so I went ahead with it. Mid August I called, talked to admissions officer and had my application transfered to spring 08 instead b/c it was close to the start of Fall. That was fine by me because i had no relocated yet to NY anyways. All of my transcripts and everything was submitted by the end of August and i called many times to make sure my application was complete. I never received an admission decision. I called again and again and left many messages for transfer councelors asking the status of my application. It is as if my application vanished into thin air. I think the least they could do is reject me if i spend the time, effort and money on their application.</p>
<p>Is it rude/wrong/inappropriate to send them an email with my dissapointment in their handling of my application?</p>
<p>I applied August 2007 for Fall 2007 which started in August, -rolling admission, deffered my application in August for spring 2008, spring 2008 is now, school has long started.</p>
<p>No i am not interested, and i would be testy, i mean if they mishandle my application what exactly would they do with my education?</p>
<p>I may be wrong, but aren't most transfer decision made a bit later in the spring? I'd check on the decision date. If they have indeed let it pass and never so much as answered a phone call or an email, then by all means tell them that this was not a pleasant way to be treated. It certainly would not be rude on your part. (assuming that you express yourself in a measured fashion, of course.) But make sure of your facts first!</p>
<p>I would send a polite note indicating your disappointment and -- assuming you're still insterested in the school -- asking how you might ressurect your application for the next term.</p>
<p>If you're not still interested, you could be a bit more testy. Seems to me they really fell down on this one.</p>
<p>Whenever I have a situation similar to this, I try and send in a polite note to the person in charge, explaining what happened, and how it affected me, and how I saw it from my end, AND, I always mention, that it is very likely I am not the only one who feels this way, or that this has happened to, etc.</p>
<p>and that you understand that things happen, just that it was very difficult to find any answers, make life plans, etc with no information whatsoever</p>
<p>People don't like to hear or realize that if they messed up YOUR stuff, then there is a very strong chance they messed up others as well</p>
<p>I sent in a check for a school function, expensive tickets, and they messed up my deposit, etc. I was very nice in my checking and "complaining" and they straightened out my situatution AND gave me a free ticket.</p>
<p>There is a way to complain and bring up serious issues, WITHOUT burning bridges, and still feel like you got your point across</p>
