sad part is that i'm well above the average of who gets accepted and those plebs are still in before me.
wow
So, can you get copies of your transcript wired to them?
Get on that, talk to admissions, if someone "cant help you" ask to speak to someone who can.

The guy I talked to on the phone gave me that canned "it was a very competitive application semester" line.
Apparently since I dont have receipt for my transcripts being sent before the deadline of march 31st, there's nothing I can do.
Why does our education system suck the small dick of capitalism? Education should not be this difficult to obtain.
If there is something I can do, I don't know what it is. I don't have the time to try anything more until wednesday. I have too much class stuff to get done before then.

Call admissions again, go with the following points
- Why was I not informed of the missing items, I thought I had sent them in, why is your system set up to accept an incomplete application
- I can get them wired to you asap, and as you can see from what I sent, Im more than qualified for UIC
- Please let me speak to someone higher up the chain
A lot of times the people answering the phone literally can't do anything for you, they dont have the authority or access, you'd likely have to get a hold of a dean.

HA! Like education is affected by the market. If anything it should be more capitalistic. Schools need a swift reminder that YOU the student are their customer and should treat you as such. Right now, schools are just sucking the sweet sweet dick of federal loan money.
Take a restaurant for example. Imagine if a restaurant denied you service because you didn't show them the receipts for the last 3 restaurants you ate at? How long would they stay in business?

I eagerly await the opening of U of Dtrain, the school that lets in anyone, regardless of their qualifications, as long as they can afford the bill. I think we'd get some really top-notch graduates out of that place.

Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - at0m - 04-17-2012
I love this feeling of entitlement, on both sides.
It's a fucking education. If you REALLY want it, you HAVE to fight for it. Follow up with admissions office, follow up on applications for scholarships, make sure you have your i's dotted and t's crossed over and over and over and over. Dtrain's concept of making it free-market doesn't fly when you've got for-profit colleges advertising for useless degrees. Ones that are worthwhile don't advertise, and don't make it easy to get in. But when you're done, you've got a piece of paper that's made from your blood, sweat, and tears and you've actually LEARNED something instead of having it handfed to you (a la our normal public school system, or a 'free college' system).
Man up, chin up, don't give up, etc.

Perhaps if it's blown up to all shit and it would cost more money than it's worth it will be an excuse for me to upgrade...
If not, you can always drive to a city that does (like Madison or Milwaukee). More complicated and expensive but it'll get you there :d
I also have a shitty ass car that should not be driven on highways for long periods of time.

so it looks like my bike engine is on the way to it's early grave and I won't be able to drive it to chicago without worrying about it dying halfway there.
So I'm going to look at the bus option. Any information on this? Is that what you're doing?

thanks at0m
never taken a bus before so i don't know anything about them.
Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - kaese - 04-17-2012
I'm riding the Van Galder bus since they are the only ones with a Madison to O'Hare route. I get a nice student discount with them too.
That sucks about your bike issues, hopefully the buses work out (again, I've never gone from Appleton to O'Hare so I don't even know if the route actually exists)
Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - zaneyard - 04-17-2012
greyhound milwaukee to chicago is 18 dollars round trip that isn't terrible
dunno where it goes though i can't seem to find their stop information
i might have to coordinate with one of you guys to come pick me up if it's too far away to walk.
looks like there is a greyhound stop about 2.5 miles away at "5615 North Cumberland Avenue Chicago, IL 60631"
unfortunately it looks like there's only interstate in between there and the hotel so I would have to see if someone could come pick me up.
Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - at0m - 04-17-2012
It goes to Union Station, I believe, so you'd be able to take public transit out to the hotel, since 16 miles is probably too far to walk. Nevermind you're trying to get as close as you can
Will they drop you off at the airport? There's a free shuttle from there. Otherwise I'll come get you.

there's a stop right on cumberland avenue
but when you go to buy a ticket it just says "Chicago" with no way to choose where it's going? Am I just retarded and don't know how the buses work?
Nevermind I figured out I had to type in Cumberland Avenue when I'm searching. Unfortunately it's like 8 bucks more but that's not a huge deal.
atom when are you planning on being there if I want to give you a call to pick me up? I'll give you like 5 bucks or something.
