DrHowardDrFine…this really doesn’t belong on a Webster thread. In any case, I hope others will learn from your experience, the importance of calling all of one’s schools about a month after all application materials are sent to determine if their file is complete. Some schools have it set up to check this online or send emails or postcards to this effect. But if an admissions office doesn’t do this as common practice, then it is the applicant’s responsibility to check if their file is complete. Schools can’t be responsible for lost snail mail, cyberspace, etc. This is your admissions process, your future. The lesson is to be the one who takes control and checks on everything and also keeps extensive notes, charts and files of every aspect of this process.

I have had a school not have my D’s audition appointment on file despite our having a print out of the confirmation and a credit card charge for it. But I found out their mistake by checking on the status of the file and audition appointment as a matter of steps we took along the way. I’m sorry for your experience. Hopefully others will learn from it.
