[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it sounds like when the local rep. blew you off that you should have called W & Lee according to its instructions:

"Should you have any difficulty in connecting with a member of your local chapter, please contact our Admissions Office at admissions@wlu.edu or (540) 458-8710. Remember, our AAP members are volunteers, so please be patient with your interview requests. For more details on interviews, see our Interview page.I'm having trouble connecting with an AAP representative."

Well, I am a bit confused. During the interview we were told interviews were not required: I have my written notes and can tell you exactly who said what and what they each were wearing. Then, I read info posted in this link.

DC was late to contact the local interviewer and thought they didn't need the interview because that was what we were told. DC did contact the admissions office themselves and was so stressed out when no one could be bothered to deal politely with DC's oversight. Local alumni couldn't accomodate DC's request and we live in an area with many alums and DC even babysits for alumni. DC e-mailed admissions, per the instructions, and got an "oh well" response perhaps because the interview wasn't important. What do I know?!  It was only then that we had a family meeting to discuss this.

All is not lost: the best thing to come out of the dinner meeting was being able to try highly recommended fish tacos at an adorable restaurant in the neighborhood. The worst was having to gently tell alumni, DC tried all avenues and hit dead-ends.

W&L told Legacy repeatedly offspring were welcomed as long as their grades were acceptable. Maybe DC's grades were not acceptable. Maybe they didn't like Legacy, DC's essay, stats, their ecs, their social media, their school, their name or there was a computer error.

DC handled the entire college process on their own. Don't throw this back on us when we don't care for the school for any siblings after this ridiculous decades long lie. Period. The Honor Code stops at the adorable admissions' building's door. Legacy DC wasn't good enough for W&L, we demonstrated interest, they demonstrated interest and they misled multtiple alumni for decades. They are well within their rights to accept and reject anyone they want and we are free to write off the school after 17 years of DC's free marketing as well.[/quote]
