Problem
Alright, so I think I kinda screwed myself over. I applied to the Enviro Sci program at mac, and got in, but before I knew I got in, I already switched that app to CS at mac. So I thought that if I switched that CS app back to Env Sci on OUAC it would the offer would show up, but that was not the case. Then, on may 7th, I was apparently accepted in to the CS, but I had already switched back to Enviro Sci, and I didn't get this email till 3 days after I was accepted. So this previous Friday, the 15th, I switched back to CS. Basically, I have gotten 2 acceptances, but due to my terrible flip flopping, it looks like both are invalid now. What can I do?

Not be posting here. ...
Contact the school... for some reason the main site isnt working for me though.

Getting accepted is pretty damn important; even though you have a lot of time left, you need to get this basic thing taken care of sooner rather than later. Undergraduate programs will hit a maximum and its possible that you won't be eligible for either program.

Try contacting the school directly, by phone. I don't know if it would have to be taken care of on the OUAC end or McMaster end.

This is a student community, we have no say over administrative decisions.

Contact the school and let them know what you've decided, if you've decided.

I wasn't asking for someone on the forums to do something about it, I was asking for advice.

Yea, you should definitely call Mac. Before I came to Mac I had accepted my offer but then cancelled it cause I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to mac anymore, but then I later changed my mind again and emailed them and they restored my offer.

You could call up mac directly. Or you could also go explain the situation to the guidance counsellor at your high school. Of course they don't have any power to fix this, but they would know who to contact. And if they're anything like the counsellors at my high school, they may even contact the university on your behalf and get everything sorted out.
Hope everything works out for you.

Specifically I would call McMaster's Office of the Registrar, as they would likely be the department in charge of this sort of thing. The Registrar's number is 905-525-4600. You might have to wait on the phone line though because they might be getting a lot of calls during this time about admissions, etc., but you should really get it sorted out soon!
