<p>Hi there! This is my first time posting on CC!</p>
<p>So I was one of many Harvard deferrals yesterday. However, when I called the admissions office today, I was told that they never really had my SAT Subject Test scores (even though I sent in an additional score report the moment I received the results in November, and have the receipt to prove it from collegeboard). </p>
<p>I was then told by the lady that I actually have two separate accounts (???) and that my subject test scores were in the other one. She merged them into one account this morning, after decisions were out. She actually told me that this might well have been the reason I was deferred: that the admissions team didn’t have the scores and wanted to wait until I could take them. Except I already did. </p>
<p>Is this something that happens normally? I’m a Canadian student, so I don’t know that much about the common app and how they are received by colleges. However, I still feel this is unfair, because it wasn’t my fault those scores weren’t placed in my main account. The worst thing is, my guidance counselor actually phoned in two weeks ago and another lady told him they had received everything that was required!</p>
<p>So my question is, what course of action should I take? Of course, phoning the admissions office and asking? Contacting my admissions officer directly and explain the situation to him? (I have no idea who he is, but it’s easy to find out).</p>
