Who would have thought?
I had originally thought that the UK universities had much better administration beauracracies than many of those in New Zealand. Well most of them might, but certainly not the University of Manchester.
This morning I received two emails from Manchester. One letting me know my login and password so that I could track my application, and one letting me know that the Development Department there had just received my application . . . over three months since I received an email from the university letting me know that they’d received my online application.
Now this shouldn’t bug me as much as it does, because I’m going to LSE anyway. But it frustrates me that the university has taken so long to get hold of me . . .
I’ve just logged into their online system and it doesn’t even record that I’ve sent in an application . . . dear golly gosh I thought Vic’s general silliness frustrated me but this is just cruel. I sent a very polite email back to the admissions people asking exactly why it has taken them this long to get back to me and I am hoping for a lovely reply tomorrow. At some stage I might tell them that it’s no use anyway because I’m already enrolled at the London School of Economics. I’ll let them answer my questions first though . . .
Dear, it’s hardly surprising, more people means more troubles. I think there may have been some invisible worms on their computer system that decided to eat Fi McKenzie’s application because they look delicious.
Oh, by the way, hehehehe, I’ve got a job.I’m starting next month.I am going to write up a mass email to everyone just now.
