What--Still No Decision??

I applied to UMCP for transfer for Fall 2008. At the time, I was really excited and was hoping to transfer. That was exactly two months ago, and still no decision.

This is after countless phone calls to the admissions office. The first time I called to confirm that all my documents were received. I called again mid-March and was informed that a decision would be out by the end of March or early April (I applied by the priority deadline). I called at the end of March, and was told mid-April. I called mid-April, and was told… nothing. Then I emailed the admissions office.

That was last week, and there’s still nothing. I’ve been checking the online decisions status every single day since March. It’s been pretty disappointing that CP won’t even take the time to reject or defer me. Also, there has been nothing in the mail.

What do you think is going on? I’m currently studying abroad overseas, and I have spent a lot of money on the international calls (including paying for the 15 minute wait time for each call).

UMCP was the only college I applied to for transfers, and I had been accepted as a freshman (Gemstone + scholarship, no less). So I guess I’m not transferring after all, and honestly, that might be a good thing. It’s not like I actually have time to speak to an advisor (yay, more international charges!) and get into the classes I need to take to graduate on time.

Is there any way I can get my $50 application fee refunded?

Sorry if I offended anyone. I’m sure CP is a great school. This was probably just an isolated scenario, maybe a computer glitch that got everything delayed.
