CUNY, M.A.

[abc123xtc]

I just need to vent. CUNY emailed me to say that they have yet to receive my transcript. There are a few things wrong with this situation:

• I had my undergrad university mail them my transcript months ago, but they didn’t it receive it so—
  
• I mailed them a physical copy of my transcript along with the application fee in check form.
  
• They received the application fee, but they apparently didn’t receive my transcript.
  
• I let someone on the adcomm know that the transcript was going to be with the application fee in JANUARY when I mailed it.
  

I want my application fee back, and I want to rescind my application. I did not pay $145 ($125 app fee + 2 transcripts) for them to be idiots. I just feel like they’re swindling me out of my money at this point.

What do you suggest I do? I'm so angry.

It's probably best to call the graduate admissions office and ask about the process to withdraw your application. Give them an explanation why you believe you deserve your money back. Let us know how it turns out.

So I called... Apparently they did receive my transcript, but they hadn't put it in the database yet. They seem pretty disorganized...
