Aborting my acceptance

Members don't see this ad.

for the person that said 5 years is a long time..

i disagree.. many people take chemistry their 1st year of college.. by the time you finish college, it's been at least 3 years.. so if you don't apply within the next two years, these 1st year prereq's are useless? i think 5 years is too short of a time period.

 

[mlle]

is it 5 years from the time you apply or the time you are to start school?

 

[GuidoPedo]

Please keep us updated!

 

[bluekty]

within 5 yrs prior to school starts.

I did not get rejected by other schools.
I applied late and got accepted mid Jan.
So I stopped sending required documents to other schools since I got accepted to the school I wanted to go to.

And my lawyer said that the fact that I applied to the school and the school sent me the acceptance letter is a legally binding process. Basically it is a contract between the school and the student.

wow. I hope everything works out soon. How long have you had the acceptance?

I received acceptance the end of Jan.

This is what I said before. They have offered you a contract and you upheld your part with the deposit and now they want out. Before you go in there Monday, don't let your high testosterone levels get the best of you. Go in calm and composed. Bring any documents you may need. They may very well admit fault and the whole ordeal will be over soon. Be honest about where you applied and your AADSAS status at schools, not sure if all these records can be seized to be verified...they probably can. As far as damages, LL cost you spots at other dental schools, money that was wasted applying to these schools, and an entire year into your future, all due to their mistake. If I have a crappy DAT, that doesn't meet a school's requirements, they will filter me out...it is really a simple process, there are cut offs and that is how it works. However in your case, it seems as though they did NOT filter you out, as should have happened, and accepted you instead. Entirely their fault, and you should have a spot this fall. Whatever you do, don't let this go, it is complete wrong doing on their part, and I don't like it. 😡

I think they probably already know they sent a denial letter to somebody who had been accepted for like 5 months. They've already thought this thru.

... it is complete wrong doing on their part...

You argue that the school should've filtered through all the applications to determine this guy couldn't really apply. Just to play devil's advocate here: do you know how many people apply to LLU every year? Well, i don't. 😛 But I imagine it's like 2000-3000. And you expect the school to hire some person to go through every application to ensure they're all ok to apply? I mean, there's a certain extent to which the burden is on the student. I would NOT say that this is "completely" the school's fault. That's pretty self-centered.

Anyhow, i wouldn't say that the acceptance is legally-binding just cause some lawyer said so. Maybe he/she is just trying to get a retainer for the legal fees. ( 😛 i said retainer, like ortho ). Regardless, I'm on your side bluekty. I hope everything works out ok. But let me restate my opinion: that I think it would be wise to leave out any legal efforts/talk to the very latest point possible.

That argument might hold water for the initial application process. But you fail to realize they missed it during the interview process, AND when the admissions committee met to pick applicants. The whole point of the admissions meeting is to go over aps and verify, confirm, and agree on students to accept. They had ample opportunities and they dropped the ball, period.

Bluekty when you go and talk to them, I hope you mention that you withdrew applications from other schools. I'm baffled by this. Dental schools have lawyers that represent them and I would have thought they would have run this by to check the legality. Perhaps they did. Even so, maybe they thought you would roll over and play dead. Go git 'em.

I would NOT say that this is "completely" the school's fault. That's pretty self-centered.

When you hear court verdicts read, have you ever heard the judge say "party A is partially guilty, but party B is more guilty so I rule in A's favor". This is LL's fault, plain and simple. You are either guilty of wrong-doing, or not guilty. There is no half-way here.

I agree. LL does have about 2000 apps I'm guessing, and they shouldn't allow so many to apply if they aren't going to review them properly. How this app made it all the way to an acceptance isn't anyone else's fault but the adcoms. And because a lawyer has stated that the acceptance is a legally binding contract, I think that itself carries more weight than any of our comments on here.

 

[polarnut]

let me know if theres anything i can do. i'll send them death threats or something. keep us up to date. good luck and dont lose hope. 👍

 

[dexadental]

PS: Did you mention anything about being away from school for so long in your personal statement?

 

[SuperTrooper]

oh, oh, oh.... i can get a couple of 8-foot-tall burning crosses in front of their school tomorrow nite!! 😳 hope that helps

 

[bluekty]

I was not away from school. I have been in school whole time, changed program one time, and I am in Mater's right now.

 

[Dentistry4Life]

In regards to this situation, does anyone know of any other schools that have this five year rule? I'm finishing up my degree in 5 years and am worried about this kind of a situation happening to me. I've never read this on any dental school websites as of yet. That would mean if I applied after I finish my degree all my prerequisites I took in first year are invalid???!!!

 

[bionerd]

It's not "on them." Why is everybody saying that? If you walk into the admissions office on Monday and tell them that it's their fault for not checking they'll laugh at you. And yes, I'm sure threatening legal action is gonna get you very far. 🙄 Even if you did get a lawyer, you wouldn't get anywhere.

I hate to be the negative one on this thread, but bluekty, didn't it ever pass through your mind that your prerequisites might be expired. I mean, five years is a long time.

I'm not saying that this doesn't suck. It definitely does, and I'd be pissed off too. But when you go and speak to LLU, I suggest you take a humble approach. If I were an admissions officer, I'd be a lot more responsive to "I honestly didn't see this in any of the info you sent me, I'm so sorry, what can I do" than "listen, you guys accepted me, now you're taking it away, wtf."

i disagree trooper...all d-schools screen out ineligible applicants first before requesting secondary and offering interviews...they didn't screen blu out so it's their fault...it's not like blu got senoritis and screwed up senior year or somethin like that. they think listing that technicality on a bulletin would be helpful...NO! it's like fine print, i hate fine prints! they should state it clearly on the website. two words: LLU suck! i knew it from the start that they suck cuz an older friend who went there said the SDA are snobs.

 

[dat_student]

... I'm finishing up my degree in 5 years and am worried about this kind of a situation happening to me....That would mean if I applied after I finish my degree all my prerequisites I took in first year are invalid???!!!

Yes, after you finish your degree the courses you took in the 1st yr become invalid.
After you retake the courses you took in the 1st yr, the courses you took in the second yr become invalid.
After retaking the courses you took in the 2nd yr, the courses you took in the 3rd yr become invalid.
.
.
.
This is a never ending cycle.
P.S. Some schools don't let students retake classes especially when grades are above B.

i think dealing with a lawyer is the smartest thing you're doing...it's true, an acceptance IS a contract. Hang in there and fight your way through..you deserve this and i'm so sorry you have to feel all this stress! dont give up...because this is absolutley ridiculous.

 

[tinman831]

Was there something you were supposed to sign and submit along with your deposit to secure your spot in the class? See what the conditions of your acceptance were. You should probably be gathering all your correspondence with them and from now on and document every phone call or talk you have with the school.

 

[hockeydentist]

Since when is an acceptance letter a legally-binding agreement? I could maybe see looking into legal involvement if blutkty had already paid a significant amount of first-year tuition, but even then...

Guys, you're not helping blutkty here. He/She screwed up, plain and simple. It was written down, and he/she didn't see it. Ignorance of the law doesn't make bluekty innocent.

The most important thing to do is to go down to LLU, admit your mistake and why it was made, and try and propose a solution (i.e. making up the classes this summer).

Agree, with SuperTrooper on this. I don't think there is any grounds to sue, its called read the fine print... Solution would be to head over to LLU and come up with a reasonable alternative. Maybe deferred admission for the following year while Blukty works on the old requirements. I can't see LLU being unreasonable and unable to compromise on this situation.

[RDHwife]

THis situtaion is definitely complicated. I wouldn't make too big of a stink out of it myself because that will scare away other dental schools from accepting you next year if they know you are in a lawsuit with LLU. Plus, even if you sue and they let you go to the school, the teachers and everyone will have a bad attitude toward you. Definitelyt go and talk to them, but before you threaten with legal action, make sure that is what you want to do.

 

[cba]

😱 I hope all works out in the end.

 

[Dentistry4Life]

bluekty I feel you pain. I hope everything works out for you in the end and LLU accepts you without too much trouble. Don’t let your dentistry dream die! Keep fighting.

 

[aggie-master]

Did it mention any of this in your "Requirements before attending" section or whatever it is called in your acceptance letter? I work for a university now and we usually have some requirements that must be met such as passing all current classes or getting your high school diploma for your admission to be valid.

In my opinion, if they didn't say "must retake Biology, Physics, etc." anywhere in your acceptance packet then that is the same as telling you that you do not have to retake them and it is 100% their fault.

If this 5 year thing is such a big deal you would think that they would check it before admitting students. Universities such as mine accept 10,000+ students a year and we can verify that they meet requirements before sending out acceptance letters. LL should be able to do the same with their classes of 100-200 or whatever it is.

uhhh...no offence, but are you stupid? read WHAT fine print? when the dental school ACCEPTS the student and TAKES his deposit, you can very well argue that they made an EXCEPTION to the fine print, and are okay with it. or else why did they take his money in the first place? NOW, if they didn't make an exception, as in this case, it is their own problem. they failed to follow their OWN rules, so LLU is responsible for breaking their own rules, not the student. if you want to argue, LLU is the one who didn't read the fine print. the student got by, plain and simple. there really isn't anything to argue.

as for supertrooper's comment about how they have too many students to scan students properly? well, who's fault is that? incompetence isn't an excuse for retracting someone's acceptance.

 

[jorUW]

Wow!!! I just spent the last half hour going through this thread. I dont know what I would do. I really hope it works out well for you.

I have one concern about the legal contract thing that a lot of us are thinking. (note: I am not a lawyer 🙄 ) I know when I sent in secondary infromation last cycle I signed off that my application was completely true and that I met all requirements. Regardless I think you are getting screwed.

when we get the acceptance letter it's usually contingent on fulfilling all the requirements, like doing all the prereqs, finishing ongoing classes or degrees.

since some students apply while they are juniors in college, the admission is contingent, so that if a student fails a prereq class, the dental school has the right to reject the acceptance.

in the case of the op, he must check with the school, if the acceptance is contingent on him having done his prerequisite courses in the last 5 years. and as dat_student pointed out, op should inquire about taking a year off to retake some courses, would other classes become invalid, then this becomes a vicious circle.

op, keep us undated.

Hey douche bag, I was merely saying that this student really has no legs to sue if they knew that there requirements were old, Why send in your deposit if you know full well, that your application could be denied if the school does a check on the transcript.

Even so, doesn't the school need to tell me in the acceptance letter that I need to RETAKE this, this courses? If the admission is based on how old the courses were, then from the beginning don't they have to mention that I am conditionally accepted?

yes, this is a different case though. so on aadsas, they make you list your planned courses. now tell me, if you haven't taken organic chemistry, and you don't list it as a 'planned course,' do you think the school would accept you? highly doubtful. they'll see it as you have no intentions on taking the courses, so accepting you even on contingence is a waste of time.

in this case, they knew very well that the op had no intentions on retaking all his prereqs, and still accepted him anyway. so i don't think these two cases can even be compared. sounds like a **** up on their part more than "oh, we knew all along this applicant's prereqs have expired. we just accepted him contingent upon him retaking ALL his prereqs over the summer." c'mon, that's stupid. plus, the op said his acceptance got revoked already. they didn't even give him a chance to fulfill the requirements that the acceptance was "contingent" upon.

hence, i don't think the acceptance on contingence argument would work very well for them. maybe if they waited till AFTER summer to rescind the acceptance, it would make more sense.

You argue something that makes no sense at all. They accepted him based on his transcripts. On the AADSAS transcripts, they list the dates of coursework completed. This should have been brought to the adcoms attention. Why are people defending this idiotic decision made by the school? Spoke to a friend of mine who is an attorney today, said the same thing as well, the acceptance is a legal contract given a deposit was laid down and the conditions of the acceptance were met. I think you have the ball in your court blue.

wtf? neither I or hockeydentist are defending the decision made by the school. We're just saying that in this situation, the school can do whatever the hell it wants, and get away with it. I think a lot of the responses in this thread have been incredibly naive; you guys way overestimate the power of the applicant in this process. bluekty will never get a legal victory in this matter if he/she chooses to sue.

yeah, it's been a while, but i think most of my acceptance letters had sentences saying that the acceptance was conditional on "fulfilling all the requirements." And most of those letters didn't list the conditions on the acceptance page. Anybody have an LLU acceptance letter handy to see what it says?

I agree that this letter is very deceptive considering what they've done. Like I said in my first post, go down to LLU and talk with them. I wouldn't be surprised if they let this go if you show how serious you are about this. Most of these requirements are bullsh*t anyways; they don't take them seriously at a lot of schools. Just don't get too relaxed thinking you have an air-tight legal case. Anyhow, good luck. I hope that you've already got a good plan made for this business considering you seem to be spending a lot of time watching this thread. You need to convince LLU, not US.

[SuperTrooper]

Would all of you guys be pissed off as well if they sent out the acceptance, and then later withdrew it cause they did a criminal record check and found out you had a misdemeanor despite the fact you checked "no" on the previous criminal record spot. I mean, they should've checked to see if you had a criminal record before they sent you the acceptance, right?!

 

[tinman831]

That is just the acceptance letter. There should be another form that you have to sign if you want to attend which will list all the conditions that must be met along with how much the deposit is and where to send it.

The issue is that the applicant never knowingly lied about his years away from school. There was never a box to check off on this condition of acceptance. Also, don't you think running a background check after accepting a student is a little wrong on the university's part if this were to infact happen? Assuming this happened, I'd be a little pissed that they messed up and denied a good student an acceptance, before running the background check and doing what they should be doing correctly. Their whole job is finding the perfect applicant for the program.

gosh trooper. would you stop making these false analogies? Look. on AADSAS, you have to confirm that everything you provided on the application is accurate and truthful. if you LIED about that, that completely invalidates the application.

i do NOT think the op confirmed anything about completing all the prereqs within the past 5 years on his application. he did not lie.

EDIT: oops...dexadental got to it first =p

 

[SuperTrooper]

i do NOT think the op confirmed anything about completing all the prereqs within the past 5 years on his application. he did not lie.

By sending in the $1000 deposit, and accepting the offer of admissions, he implicitly agreed that he had met the conditions for acceptance (which he stated himself were outlined in the LLU literature).

Listen, the issue is that you guys think the buck stops with the letter of admission, and it totally doesn't.

 

[r0entgen]

*rolls eyes*

you aren't a very bright one are you?

first off, submitting a deposit does not mean the op implicitly agreed on the conditions. submitting a deposit means he is "[securing his] place in the class of 2010," as his acceptance letter states.

also, it's stilled a flawed comparison. because you are comparing lying on the application to submitting a deposit. they aren't the same thing. the op didn't agree on anything by submitting the deposit. i mean, it's money for heaven's sake. since when does the person who PAYS money have to agree on anything? it's usually the other way around. -_-

 

[dexadental]

By sending in the $1000 deposit, and accepting the offer of admissions, he implicitly agreed that he had met the conditions for acceptance (which he stated himself were outlined in the LLU literature).

Not exactly. The offer was made for an acceptance, so wouldn't you argue that LL should have checked their criteria for admission more thoroughly before offering an acceptance? I think that is the real question and it ended up costing not only him a possible acceptance, but other qualified applicants as well. I hate to prolong this never ending battle, but I'm curious to see what happens tomorrow.

 

[bluekty]

That is just the acceptance letter. There should be another form that you have to sign if you want to attend which will list all the conditions that must be met along with how much the deposit is and where to send it.

The next letter I recieved was this:

Dear XXXXX
By now you should have received the "good news" that you have been accepted to ... school of dentistry. To secure your place in the Class of 2010, a deposit of $1000 is required. This deposit becomes a part of your first quarter's tuition. The following items should be returned to our office no later than Feb 27th;
1. A check in the amount of $1000.00 made payable to ... school of dentistry
2. Admission deposit form
3. Data Center Supplement
4. Biographical Data information
In addition to the above, you will need to request transcripts to be sent school to school, from all colleges and/or universities you have attended. After we have recieved this information you will be sent a pre-dental completion statement. This will be issued to you to show what class work needs to be completed prior to entrance next September.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office at ### and we will be happy to talk with you.
Again congratulation!


And the following letter was the receipt of deposit.

Thank God you didn't apply to law school. You are either good at antagonizing people or you are just plain stupid. I think about 10% of your posts have something valid in them. 👍

I see that SuperTrooper is from Vermont, perhaps your heavily liberal background has left you a bit confused on these matters.

....running the background check and doing what they should be doing correctly.

So are you saying that they should do background checks on everybody they are about to offer admissions to? Regardless if they checked "yes" or "no." Cause if that's what you're saying i'd suggest you're mildly ******ed. Admissions offices aren't these super-human machines that ensure accuracy in everything and confirm everything the applicant says. Admissions offices are bureaucracies that screw up all the time. Look at most of the SDN posts in the pre-dental forums; admissions offices lose LORs, DAT scores, send out information when they shouldn't. This is REAL LIFE buddy, and the applicant needs to be just as accountable as the office. You can't go around blaming other people for your problems.
