Today, I saw a letter from Geneseo that invited me to apply to the honors college. Excited, I wrote the required two page essay on how I am organized. I then saw the strict deadline was March 15th. My little brother thought it would be funny to hide my mail. For the past seven weeks. FML

Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML

Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML

Today, I was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML

Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML

Today, I was excited to hear that I received three of my grad school recommendations in the mail from a very busy professor. They need to be submitted sealed, and of course, my nosy mom decided to open them. FML

Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML

Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML

Today, I got a letter from Yale law school saying I got a 4 year full scholarship. I called my dad crying and read the whole thing... even the bottom, which said, "April fools! Love mom and dad." FML

#83 you have no idea what you are talking about. SUNY Geneseo is compared to other great private schools but instead of you we do not come out with 100 k in debt =].

I don't get how none of you understand a large number of high school students don't get mail. I don't think anyone deserves to have mail regarding honors college information should be hid from them. It's a nice opportunity. I would be so angry if a younger sibling hid important mail from me.

THAT SUCKS. Oh my God. x( And you guys really need to not bash SUNY schools, cause I may have no choice but to attend one next year. And they're not all the same, I'm hoping I won't hate it there :/. Though I literally feel like crying every time I compare it to my dream private school. If only it wasn't all about the money :(.

I totally understand what you're going through. I was accepted to a 40,000$ a year, out of state private school, with a 6,000$ scholarship, but I was ineligible for ANY financial aid because of something screwy with my parents' taxes ?

I'm now paying my way through the local community college, which has the rep for being where all the kids who couldn't get accepted any where else goes... With a 29 on the ACT, 31 if super scoring, and a 4.0 gpa. I'm not at all happy, but it is keeping loans down.
