Not to worry I haven't heard anything from Western besides this fun little story that I would like to share with the world. I'm sure other people have similar stories but I feel the need to tell everyone who applied to Western this year what the Dean of Admissions, Karen Hutton Lopez, told me when I spoke with her on the phone.
She had emailed me on 11/10 to tell me that my application was incomplete because they never received my check or my personal questionnaire but they did receive my CV and essays. Since they did not receive these things by the postmark date of 10/15, I was automatically rejected. Naturally I freaked out and called her office.
She spoke with me and told me that she had just opened my envelope that day and those two things were missing. I told her that was impossible because I had mailed all four things together. Why would I mail four things separately? She basically said I was SOL.
Went online to check my bank account. Low and behold they had cashed my check 2 weeks prior!!! Called her back and explained that they actually had my check and probably had misplaced the other part and that I could just email her the rest. She said that I was SOL again. I demanded my money back and she said it was non refundable, that if I had gotten rejected that I wouldn't have gotten it back. I said that was fine and understandable but since my application hadn't even been evaluated I wanted my money back.
She said fine but, this is the kicker, she said and I quote "Well we don't even look at all the applications anyways!". I had her on speaker phone and three of my friends heard these words. So if you get rejected don't feel bad because they were probably too lazy to actually look at your application and just took your money and ran with it. Besides the fact that the Dean of Admissions is a blatant liar and lied about opening my application that day when in fact she had cashed my check 2 weeks prior to even telling me something was missing.
Onwards and upwards
