I'm paying you for this??

Here's the latest on my application to social work school. After not hearing anything when they said letters went out two weeks ago, I gave up on calling and sent an e-mail. The admissions secretary responded today with "...we show that you withdrew your application so therefore you would not receive a letter [from our office]." Uhhhh....what? Yeah. I called and it appears that my file was marked as "withdrawn" even though I never called, wrote, or e-mailed that as my intention. They have NO IDEA how this happened but apparently my application was NEVER reviewed by the admissions committee. The secretary said she would have to speak to the program chair and find out if there is anything they can do but more than likely I'll be put on the waiting list.
This doesn't give me much confidence in the program I am applying for. I'm supposed to shell out several thousands of dollars to these people and they can't even get the basic paperwork right?

I'm in limbo. Looks like school will be delayed for a while.
Stay tuned.

Oh, darling: don’t you realize that the people who run our state universities are only marginally more competent than your average road-kill squirrel? If that tastes like bitterness, it should.
