[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was admitted to UNC Chapel Hill.[b] Yesterday, they called and said her admission is on hold because they never received her final HS transcript. [/b]

After much poking around and an hour on the phone with Parchment and three Chapel Hill AOs, we learned that the transcript was sent to UNC Wilmington, not UNC Chapel Hill.

We emailed her HS's college counselor who explained (we think) that this was my DD's fault. They allege that she 'mis selected' the school on a drop down somewhere. I find this very hard to believe as everything else Chapel Hill needed was given to them with no problem. Follow up emails to get clarity on what exactly happened have not been answered.

This is a large, well known, HS in the DC area. All seems to be rectified now after we emailed the counselor's boss who quickly sent the transcript. I have no problem admitting it was my DD's error if that is the case, but I'd like to know.

Does a HS have no part in verifying that they are sending the correct transcript to the correct school?

[quote]It's a huge deal and caused a ton of stress for my DD as she also got the email that her admission was on hold. It's the middle of July. Admissions are closed. [b]Had they simply retracted her offer she would up a creek without a paddle.[/b] She had already done her housing and established contact with her roommate. This isn't a whoopsie daisy.[/quote]

Everything was resolved.  You have manufactured a crisis where there is none.  Your "what if" could not have happened.  The whole point of your second sentence was that the university reviewed her admission documents, determined she was missing something and called the student (although you answered and fielded the question for your child) to let her know that something was missing.  They were not going to "simply retract her offer".  They found the omission and called the student to have the student follow up.  This allowed the student to call the school and ensure that a transcript had been sent, or if, as the case happened, there was an error, she could request a new transcript be sent.  Then she could call the admission office back and let them know that the issue was being resolved and a transcript was on the way.

You need to really move on and let it go.  Nothing catastrophic happened and the situation was resolved.  Your faux outrage to try and spin this so that it was the school's fault instead of your daughter's fault is sophomoric and you need to be an adult now.[/quote]
