Ridiculous

They apparently never received my deposit, but I sent it in way before the deadline! I called last week to verify that they received it, but they couldn't even do that because apparently there was a backlog of entering things into the system. The guy said they "probably received" my deposit. Great. This is not a good sign. Maybe I am biased against East Coast schools. The West Coast, despite being more laidback, seems to have its shit together compared to the messed up East Coast.
