they sent me an email of a 4 letter code for a free app so i filled it out for the hell of it. i just got an email saying:
For your application to be complete you will need to submit, if you haven’t already:
Official high school(s) transcript
SAT/ACT test scores
Application Fee. The application fee is $45, ( payable by check or money order or by credit card, online or by mail)

has the system just not recognized i’ve used the free code yet?
