<p>Andover sent a refusion letter to me, but i had some materials lost. Why they refuse me?</p>
<p>Uh, in my honest opinion, this is pretty self-explanatory. If you were missing something important in your application, such as grades, recommendations, etc., then Andover wouldn’t have had a full picture of your background. Besides, it’s pretty unfair to other applicants if Andover decides to accept you when you didn’t even follow the directions and submit your complete application.</p>
<p>The school cannot accept you unless your application is complete, Sophia.</p>
<p>Of course it also depends on WHO lost the materials. There was at least one applicant from several years ago who applied to Andover and the admission office lost some key item. In that case they did not reject the applicant. They held off on a decision until the missing material was sent in. She was accepted, I believe, and it had been her first choice. But the financial aid wasn’t there and by the time the whole experience was over, she was really soured on Andover and went to Exeter…which she had spent most of that admission season comparing negatively to Andover. She learned to love the school that loved her…and didn’t lose her file.</p>
<p>If Andover lost the material or if they had asked for supplemental material that had not arrived, I can understand the OP’s disappointment at receiving a rejection. Remember, the OP is questioning the rejection, not claiming that she should have been accepted. If the school was responsible for the lost material, a rejection wouldn’t be appropriate. A refund of the application fee might be called for, but it would be fairly rude (imo) for a school to fail to consider an application and then take the fee and send out a rejection letter.</p>
<p>Another scenario that’s plausible from this sketchy post is that the applicant did not complete the application – effectively bailing out and intentionally choosing not to go forward with the application. So, when she received a rejection letter it might have ticked her off. Like a girl who says that she won’t go to the prom with you…as if you asked in the first place!</p>
<p>More facts are needed to figure out what happened here because it’s not self-explanatory.</p>
<p>I think OP meant she didn’t complete the application but received a rejection letter. She expected them to just ignore her incomplete instead of “refusing” her. Well, one more way to be unhappy on this crazy day…</p>
<p>@ D’yer Maker,</p>
<p>Interesting insight. I apologize if my first post was premature and unsympathetic towards situations such as the ones you’ve described. However, due to the OP’s lack of basic grammatical structure and -as you put it- “the sketchy nature of this post,” I can only (and logically) assume that the situation DAndrew puts out is the correct one. I would expect someone who had been rejected due to a mistake on the part of the Admissions Office to be a bit more detailed in her argument, instead of merely offering one incoherent sentence. But who knows? Maybe Andover screwed up. I hope the OP returns to offer some detail.</p>
<p>D’yer… I can always count on you to put things in a different light! I first read the post the way the others did, but your usual positive attitude and empathic position makes just as much sense. Good Job once again!</p>
