Parents throwing away acceptance letters?

Call the admissions office about a week after acceptances were to have been mailed. Tell them there’s a problem with your mail delivery, and ask them to confirm whether you were accepted. You can skip the backstory. If you were accepted, there should be follow-up letters coming, but you may have same problem of your mother screening your mail.

Acceptance is only one part of much bigger enrollment process. You still need parents’ cooperation regarding college cost-payments and financial aid application information. Did you check “need financial aid” on your admission applications? Did you target schools where you’d fit the +80% percentile profile of applicants, to make yourself a strong candidate for both merit and need financial aid?

Did you look at Dominican University and Elmhurst College too?
