aight, all this talk admissions has been giving me about having a full scholarship to FAMu..... I applied to the university the first week of January. On January 22, i received correspondence that i was eligible for a full ride, and would b sent certification within 3 weeks to sign whether or not i accepted the award. Its now March 15, and I have yet to receive an acceptance letter OR a certification for my scholarship. :evil: So i try to call the university and see whats up. I've been calling Office of Admissions for 2 1/2 SKRAIT WEEKS and get a busy sig each time. I called Recruitment n Scholarships, and get told that the computer system was down in the office, and there are stacks and stacks of applications not even LOOKED THROUGH yet, and there was a good chance mine could b in that stack. She couldn't even find the certification for my scholarship in HER files. I try to FAX this ho somethin, and she gave me the WRONG NUMBER! So finally i get in touch with the music Dept. and explain my dilemma to this work-study chick. She's like, "Don't worry about it, my freshman year I applied in December and didn't get accepted til June." I don't want to put down hundreds in deposit fees at other schools f i don't even know where i stand with THIS one, my FIRST CHOICE, the FIRST school i applied to!!!!!!! how i get offered a scholarship if they don't even know if i'm accepted yet? makin me wonder do i realllllly wanna go here...... did anyone else have to deal with screwups like this?
