Bad news.
Because of the slow as hell admissions office at Oregon State, the English Department *still* hasn't gotten my current school's transcripts. The department indicated that they would simply go ahead and evaluate my application as is, and if I'm accepted into the program, they'll ask for the transcript then.
So yeah, it's sounding like because OSU's admissions office is so damned slow about processing transcripts, I may well have lost my shot at getting accepted there.
