Have been trying to get into my colleges work-study program since July. It is now October, and I have just now received a letter of denial after almost 3 months of 0 communication or updates. I had to stop in multiple times just to make sure they even knew I existed, and they kept saying that HR needed to validate something, or that there was some kind of name mixup (I am the only person with my name in the school)school. The worst part? The woman who denied me didn't even care enough to spellcheck her own letter. She misspelled words and clearly did not care. This is the official college IT department, and they don't even care enough to spellchecker. My friend got into a different work study within 2 weeks, so I know it's not HR. I understand why people don't want to work.
