<p>I am wondering if anyone else has been admitted to a school to which they did not finish applying. Neither USF or Northeastern got transcripts or recommendations from me, but I was accepted at both. Is this a bizarre coincidence that I get two? Anyone else in the same boat?</p>
<p>that’s weird…lol they must really want you</p>
<p>I heard Penn accepted someone at my school without her applying. And that if she can’t play tennis for any reason she’ll be kicked out.</p>
<p>That could be a rumor, actually. But she definitely got in. And was definitely recruited for tennis.</p>
<p>Another member of CC was accepted by Clarkson Uni and their Honors Program without finishing their application.</p>
<p>Peculiar…</p>
<p>yeah…actually…for some reason Tulaine sent me an acceptance letter when I didn’t even apply…</p>
<p>Yeah, although I didn’t apply, some college accepted me and recruited me for running, which I was never involved! Maybe they got a wrong person.</p>
<p>Wow, well my dad got accepted to Penn without applying and he was a B/C student… then again, he was like a 4th- or 5th-generation legacy…</p>
<p>I never sent the supplement for Guilford
Never paid the app fee or sent recommendation to Kalamazoo
got into both w/scholarships</p>
<p>Wow, that’s pretty bizarre. I’ve joked about that but I never knew it could actually happen!</p>
<p>My sister got into one school… either James Madison or Delaware… by submitting the app online but never paying the fee.</p>
<p>“And that if she can’t play tennis for any reason she’ll be kicked out.”</p>
<p>That can’t be true, because Ivy Leagues do not give athletic scholarships. Hence they can’t make playing a sport mandatory for recruited athletes.</p>
<p>Oh yeah. Another debunked rumor. :(</p>
<p>Well the only reason she got in is for tennis. That’s for sure.</p>
<p>I applied for a scholarship at one university and then thinking I wouldn’t get the scholarship anyways and since I already had gotten into my first choice school, I never submitted an application to the university. I ended up getting offered a full ride at the university and got the acceptance stuff without ever having applied! I’m going there now actually, lol.</p>
<p>In October I sent a Common Application app to UMiami. I never sent the fee because it was a mail-in payment and I forgot about it. Months later they called to ask if I was still interested. By then I’d changed my mind and decided to save the fee. I told them that I no longer wanted to apply. A few weeks later I received an acceptance letter and significant scholarship offer. Amazing!!! I was really flattered and happy to be accepted.</p>
<p>That whole thing about Ivies not giving athletic scholarships is complete BS. They SAY they don’t, but they do. Two years ago, my cousin got recruiting calls from Harvard and Yale for wrestling and he had a 3.4 GPA.</p>

<p>Um, they recruit for sports. That is different than an athletic SCHOLARSHIP. They do not give money specifically for sports- it is all need-based. Therefore recruited athletes (they DO recruit, aka seek out and ‘help’ athletes in admissions) are not obliged to play their sport when they arrive to school</p>
<p>My son was accepted and received a pretty decent scholarship at a private he never applied to.</p>
<p>Wow, these stories are interesting. Zmonkeytoe, in your case, isn’t it possible that they emailed or called your gc for the transcript and recs? You might want to ask your gc if those items ever went out. It would be funny and sad if you were accepted without them even looking at your grades and courses-pretty basic in admissions.</p>
<p>i am sure they were not. i am coming off a 3 year gap so my guidance counselor is no longer there and i had to get my file out of the archives to send it where i requested, which was neither of the two. they only got my common app and SATs.</p>
<p>Football recruits get accepted without applying</p>
