<p>i guess there’s nothing left for me to do… my guidance counselor screwed me over big time. He failed to send out my application for Brown, as he did to Wesleyan University and Trinity College. I tried calling app. a month ago to find out why I had still not received any type of correspondence. So when I called admissions said the only thing that they had received was my personal statement… which I had sent out myself. When I questioned him about it he swore he sent it out, and I therefore gave him the benefit of the doubt that it could’ve gotten lost. So I called the following day to my other two schools and both did not have me on file. So that’s when it became obvious that he didn’t send the apps. out. So good luck to those of you still waiting on letters and congrats to those of you that got in… too bad I’ll never know if I would’ve been part of the Brown class of 2010… =(… wish me luck at the University of Conn.</p>
<p>I'm so sorry that happened to you. Out of curiosity, why didn't you send the app. in yourself?</p>
<p>Assuming you have a good, if not great record, why not apply as a transfer? That's what I'm planning on doing. But watch out, you'll have to get a few of the app. forms filled out by your HS.</p>
<p>Best of luck :)</p>
<p>that sucks, i'm sorry. i handed my apps into my GC too (she wanted to package it with essential information about my school). i would be so unspeakably ****ed at my her if she didn't send them. UConn is a good school though, my best friend's cousin went there and just got into Ohio State University Medical School (he's a junior). and as twenty8 said, there's always the possibility of transferring out.</p>
<p>Or taking a gap year and reapplying (or I guess, applying for real. Man, I would rip my school a new one if that happened to me.)</p>
<p>It is your counselor's job now to take full responsibility for his actions. He needs to call Brown, tell them that he messed up, and ask if they will still consider your application. They probably won't, but your counselor is obligated to try, since he completely messed up.</p>
