JediTalentAgent posted:For grad school miscommunications, I knew a person who was accepted into a grad program only to end up being short a few hundred dollars by the payment deadline. They called the school up, explained their problem, and were told, "Okay, you won't be able to start the program this semester..." I've heard so many horror stories about grad school applications having similar problems. I actually did get my entry into graduate school delayed a semester for similar reasons. Basically, I had one undergrad class to finish up in the summer before I could graduate, so I applied to Graduate school in the fall after that. I figured that it'd be no problem, since there was two weeks between final grades being posted and the deadline to send in your degree transcript. I was wrong. The grad school I was applying to refused to take anything that was not the Official Degree Transcript, which was going to be released three days after the deadline. I tried everything to get them to take me provisionally because I had already received my grades and knew they were good enough. I got my undergrad dean to sign my non-degree transcript certifying that I did graduate, I called everyone in the program I was applying to, and I couldn't get anything to work. I also had the amusing phone conversation where I discovered that I was not eligible for provisional acceptance to the program because I did successfully graduate, and the program was for people who were still finishing their undergrad or something stupid like that. I ended up just working for a semester and starting up in the Spring, but I still can't get over how hosed that whole situation was.
