Although I haven't had the greatest experience with the application process at some schools, I had a horribe experience with Davis.
First off, their computer system was all messed up. Then I send in my secondary and I get an email from them saying that they received my secondary and that my application was complete. After 6 weeks without hearing anything (which isn't that abnormal with post-secondary waiting), I decide to give them a call just to check and make sure everything is fine with my app. Well Terri informs me that they didn't have my check but that they had the form that I signed saying I sent my check and everything else from the secondary. My big question to her was, Why did they tell me my app. was complete if they didn't have my check (which I know that I sent) and why wouldn't they have notified me that they didn't receive my fee, esp. because they had my payment form.
At that point, Terri told me to check to see if my check was cashed. It wasn't and so I told her that and said that I would send another one immediately. Terri then told me to "Just forget about it (the fee)." I argued and said that my app to Davis was very important to me and that I didn't mind at all. She then said "I don't know why you are worrying so much about it (kinda making fun of me)" and told me not to send it and that she would take care of it.
So, I was left feeling very unnerved and with a application complete about two months after I had turned it in.
Less than a week later I get a four line email saying I was rejected.
Needless to say I was really upset about my whole app. experience with Davis and called. I was told to write an email and that I would get a response within the week. After a month I still didn't have a response and so I called again. I was told that she was very sorry and that she would respond immediately if I wrote again. And so I did, but got no response, and this was like four months ago.
Just my experience
