USC "lost" bac/md applications?

<p>two people from my school were selected by USC for merit scholarships who also applied to the bac/md program. when they didn't hear from bac/md, they both called USC--separately, unbeknownst to the other--and USC told them both that they never received the application. that just seems weird to me that such a freak thing would happen to two people from the same school. anybody else have trouble with sending application materials?</p>

<p>and to everyone applying next year: make copies and get proof of everything you send--especially the date!</p>

<p>many people thought you could just submit it online but you actually had to send a hard copy...the online is only a form to make the hard copy</p>

<p>no, they sent it by mail.</p>

<p>I bought certificates of mailing for everything that I sent to a college. It's a pretty good idea (just for future reference).</p>
