<p>I finished my application for Missouri-Columbia earlier today and returned to the website in an attempt to complete my scholarship application. However, my parents, apparently unsatisfied with my initiative in completing my applications, decided to create an application in my name already, and of course wrote down the wrong login info and forgot the email address and security question they had assigned to the application. Now I am unable to do a password recovery, my login info doesn't work and I can't create a new application because there is already one in my name.
Any advice? Workarounds? Tricks? Anything to overcome this problem would be appreciated. I sent an email to their financial aid department already and will probably end up calling if they don't respond, but if there's anything I can do to get a quick resolution I'd be very grateful.</p>
<p>Are you saying that two apps got submitted? One by your parents (sometime earlier) and one by you (yesterday)? Did your second one fully submit? Or did it get rejected because of the earlier submission? </p>
<p>Did your parents do this awhile ago? </p>
<p>Call the school.</p>
<p>Call the school, and let them know. I’m sure that Mizzou has had to respond to similiar situations caused by overbearing parents. I anticipate that Mizzou will rectify the situation, and won’t count it against you.</p>
<p>Don’t bother to tell your parents that you will call Mizzou because there’s a good chance that your parents will try to stop you from doing so and will screw things up even more.</p>
<p>Call the school.</p>
<p>Of course, your parents are out of line. On the other hand, try to get these important applications in before the deadline. My daughter will be attempting to submit the very same scholarship application this afternoon, at deadline. As of this morning, she was still revising the essays. I wouldn’t do what your parents did, but I understand their frustration when kiddo does not do what needs to be done in a timely manner.</p>
<p>Things go wrong, you know. Computers fail. Cable companies fail. Etc.</p>
