<p>What is the name of this lady everybody is emailing?</p>
<p>[MODERATOR DELETED WOMAN’S NAME] When I didn’t hear back from UCF, everyone told me to email her. So I did on a friday night, explaining my love for the school, my struggles, etc, and was accepted later the next day. I guess, the correct form would be, I was accepted for my ACT, Awards, Essays, community service, leader positions…and justing GPA.</p>
<p>The thing is, I would write all of this to them. As a side note, members on this site have already made her name public numerous times, so I am not the first, nor last. I, personally, had no issues with her-it seems that others have, however. I started this thread as a means of advice to be given to me, as well as predications as to what would happen. According to your screen name, parents of two, you have kids. How do you think they would feel, if accepted to their dream college, and have that taken away, because the school made a silly mistake? I don’t think you fully understand the position I’m in, and if you’re not going to give me an constructive advice, I would appreciate if you did not post. I have enough to deal with right now, and am looking for answers or hints as to what will happen, so I can better prepare myself. Excuse me for using the first amendment. All of the points I stated above will be included in an email from my father, and school guidance. If they roam this site so commonly, then they would easily see, by my previous post, how badly I wanted to be there, and still want to be there.</p>
<p>Honestly I don’t think they are entitled to do anything for you except refund you any money you have sent them as far as Housing App, Enrollment Deposit, etc. I’m sure things like this have happened many times before, especially if someone has a like Social Security number to someone else. They can’t make special arrangements for everyone. Like someone else said, the best you can do is work on your GPA and tests scores. True you are having family issues, but once you get to UCF if the same thing happens, the professor isn’t going to say, “Oh poor baby, here’s an A in the class, I feel so bad.” Such is life and we just have to work with it.</p>
<p>If they mixed up your transcripts, your brother will now be the one accepted and you will be denied.</p>
<p>I know that. That’s what we’re worried about, no one finds it fair, considering I’m the one who had to convince him to apply, helped him write his admissions essays, fill out his application, etc. We’re hoping they us both in.</p>
<p>Not to mention, it’s too late for me to apply to schools here in Illinois, and most of the ones in Florida will have housing full by the time I find out. Now my only option is CC. If I need to get the law involved, if we’re both rejected, my teacher and school encourages me to. My AP law teacher says I have a right to, and can do so, because the acceptance letter says nothing of pulling an acceptance for ‘mistakes’. My teacher really does believe they’ll allow us both in, because colleges do not like causing such problems between family’s. I know life isn’t fair-out of many members on this site, I might know that the best, because of personal situations. I don’t ask them to do what’s easy-I ask them to do what’s fair and right, with the students best interest.</p>
<p>But if he got denied twice and they used your transcript for his application, but you get accepted with his transcript that is what is going to happen. You’re twins, how did he end up with a 3.7 GPA but you ended up with a 3.3 GPA and complain about family problems. Doesn’t he live with the same family?</p>
<p>How does it cause family problems? I dont get it…
A school can accept/deny whoever they want</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>wut? tsen char</p>
<p>We have AP law at my school, problem. Warrior, it’s really simple. My twin brother and I (I’m a girl, he’s a boy) are very, very close. We decided to attend UCF together, because being so far from home, it would be nice to know someone. Since this happened, him and I are fighting. Badly. There’s a lot of tension in the family right now, and their mistake is causing huge problems between him and I. We both want to be there, and right now, they put us in an uncomfortable position-we’re nothing being compared in admissions now, side by side. I don’t expect people to understand that feeling, but him and I are never compared-for this to happen…</p>
<p>Even if they didn’t make that mistake, you would’ve probably got denied and he would’ve got accepted, so you shouldn’t really be mad at him.</p>
<p>I’m really sorry that happened to you. I can see how this would cause major tension between you and your brother, and create a very stressful break. But like someone else said, if they don’t want you now, screw them! I got rejected from my ED school, and I have myself a day to mope. After that, I held my head up and hoped for the best from the other places I was applying to. They’re not good enough for you if they cause this much stress in your family. Also-don’t most colleges have a deadline of Jan 1st? Why is it too late for you to apply to other places?</p>
<p>But…AP law doesnt exist…</p>
<p>Problem-It’s a law orientated AP class, it sexists, his class is right next to mine.
Warrior-You don’t need to question the tension anymore, if you had a twin, you would understand what I mean, but it seems like you might not be able to. There’s problems between us, caused by them, simple as that.
Seat-I could apply to colleges by then, except for one, tiny problem. I can’t get my transcripts until January 10th, which is when I return to school. They forbid to hand out transcripts unless school is in sessecion. I emailed, asking if they could make an exception-they refuse. Thank you for understanding the family aspect, I’m glad someone FINALLY realizes what I mean.</p>
<p>I actually do have a twin brother, and I don’t understand how you can be mad at him for e-mailing them, he really should’ve gotten accepted, it wouldn’t have been fair if he just let them deny him.</p>
<p>*exsist…whoops…akward, lol</p>
<p>Warrior, I am not mad for that reason, I have my own reasons. It caused problems, okay? We NEVER fight, and we’re fighting now. Yet, if we’re both accepted, we would immediately stop. It’s just how it is, simple as that.</p>
<p>You need at least a 28 ACT to get accepted with your GPA, you should’ve worried about that instead of your community service hours, which are pretty useless. I get why you guys are fighting but, if I was your brother I’d slap you for being mad at me for your acceptance getting pulled. I’m not trying to be mean, but it’s true.</p>
<p>OP, while I understand that you are upset, you need to move on to plan B. What happened was simply a mistake and you won’t have any legal recourse for this. I think it was last year or the year before that UCSD (I think that is the right school) sent out a massive amount of acceptance emails that were ALL supposed to be rejections. The school apologized and everybody moved on.</p>
