<p>Ok...I may be just jumping to conclusions since I dont have the letter in my hand, but cornell just mailed my stepmom a packet of acceptance after i was rejected in April??!?! It makes no sense!?!? I wasn't on the waitlist...they said i was rejected! I did opt for the guaranteed transfer thing for 3rd year...but this letter, according to my stepmom, did not mention that?!?! </p>

<p>HELP MEEEEE...I can't stand the suspense...why are they doin this to me after I already decided where I want to go?!?!</p>

<p>Why dont you just call and ask them?</p>

3

<p>maybe your stepmom hates you and is messing with your head?</p>

<p>it should have been mailed to your or had your name on it. You applied to cornell, not your step mom</p>

<p>perhaps cornell made a mistake when you were rejected and this is correcting it.</p>

<p>call and ask, it might be a wierd freak mistake</p>

<p>i would advise assuming its a mistake for now, calling and confirming and checking things out. It's better to be pleasently suprised than dissapointed about something you know is irrational.</p>

<p>we're all rooting for you (unless of course this is BS and its you screwing with our heads ;))</p>

<p>no dude, my mail goes to my stepmom cuz she's my guardian</p>

<p>i am goin to call but i just feel really tense right now and ****ed off....i dont want to decide between cornell and wash u...</p>

<p>Regardless of the actual circumstances, you have my sympathy. Nobody deserves to get jerked around like that.</p>

6

<p>^^ Amen to that. :(</p>

7

<p>yea, thanx guys...ill call today..hopefully slope day isnt making them all drunk so they cant tell me what's really goin on lol</p>

8

<p>It happened to me at Columbia... mistakes happen</p>

9

<p>Yeah.. UCSD did the same thing to me...
First, they sent me a rejection letter. Then, they sent me a letter of acceptance along with a letter of apology... But, it was too late... I was feeling betrayed and frustrated...</p>

<p>dont take an offended stance though! like, out of 6000+ acceptances, there have to be ony a few that get screwed up. It's unlucky to be part of that, lets say, 0.15%, but at least you know you're accepted!</p>

11

<p>What happened when you called?</p>

12

<p>Didn't Cornell have a problem like this a few years ago, when they sent every single applicant an acceptance letter by mistake? If I recall, the paper admissions letters reflected the true decisions.</p>

<p>Hope everything works out for you Shaka...</p>

13

<p>Not every single one, but a big pile of rejects got mailed acceptances by mistake</p>

14

<p>LOL Chris I doubt the admissions office would be as generous as that. What was it, about 200+?</p>

15

<p>Whoops, I think I mean e-mail. Anyway, that's what I heard.</p>

16

<p>What Did They Day When You Called?</p>
