<p>I received the following letter from Notre Dame regarding my rejection from the university (this is just an excerpt):</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is quite amusing seeing as I did not apply for financial aid, Notre Dame claims to be need blind, and I listed on the common application that my family is in the highest income bracket. </p>
<p>I then received an email a few days later with an apology regarding their reasoning for rejecting me, as apparently they had assumed that because I live overseas, that must make me an international student (even though consistently in my application it is stated that I am an American citizen). Here is an excerpt:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This also made me a bit curious regarding their stance on international applicants: do they typically assume that such applicants require financial aid? </p>
<p>Regardless, it definitely made the rejection much easier, as it made me feel as though perhaps the school never bothered to even read my application and instead rejected me by a swift check of my SAT scores - which are, admittedly, poor. </p>
<p>I have yet to receive any letter regarding the university’s decision on my application, so I’m assuming that they sent it to the wrong country, again. About two years ago I requested information from the university and it took several months to arrive at my home for they had sent it to China as opposed to Singapore. A bit embarrassing for them I’d say, and definitely a bad omen for things to come. </p>
<p>Anyways, the point of my rambling, is that I’m curious if a similar situation has occurred for any other rejected TCKs? Perhaps I’m reading into the error too much, but I am after all only curious (: </p>
<p>Oh and before anyone says it - no, I am not resentful and taking out my anger regarding my rejection. I am simply pointing out a rather amusing error on Notre Dame’s part.</p>
