Midlife Crisis Help :( :( :(
So i received an email saying my offer has been rescinded because I did not meet requirments?! BUT I DID MEET ALLLL THE REQUIReMENTS and my average is WAY OVER what they wanted!!! I'm going to cry. I logged onto OUAC to see that my school STILL has not put my OSSD achieved DATE however it does say WILL ACHIEVE. My condition deadline was June 30th. I currently have my OSSD in front of me right now dated june 30th. Do you think Mcmaster will give me back my spot in my program?! :'(

If its a mistake on the school's behalf, don't worry. Call up the office of registrar tomorrow and your high school and make sure they transferred the documents required properly.

Yes, this seems to be happening more frequently each year. The high schools appear to have some lag/delay/error in transmitting information to Mac properly and peple get their offers rescinded.

So you plan on living till 34/36?
Because otherwise I don't think you know what "midlife" means.

I was going to say the same thing. Furthermore, this is an unfortunate incident, not a midlife crisis. Anyways, I'd definitely call the admissions office and see what's going on, I'm sure things will work out.

Definitely call the office of the registrar tomorrow and explain your situation to them. I'm sure it's just an error/delay on behalf of your school. Call 905.525.4600

You might have better luck if you go to the Registrar Office in person. And (I hate to say this) but maybe go with a parent. It sucks but I remember things getting fixed more quickly when I was starting at Mac if I had a parent with me. Some admins brush off highschool students.. (sorry)

No, I don't think you do.
Maybe after you pop out a couple kids you can say you're having a midlife crisis >_> |
