Embarassing problem-I can't remember if I applied there or not?

I'm a senior in high school, and I'm applying at 9 different colleges. Just when I thought I was done applying at all of them and was putting the transcript request forms together to bring to my counselor tomorrow, I realized I couldn't find one for one school I (thought) I applied at: Illinois-Wesleyan University. I couldn't find a counselor/transcript form for that one place. Wait a minute, did I ever actually apply there? I have no confirmation from them. But I could have sworn I did...

So, you see my predicament. If I fill out the app (possibly) again, then I look like a damn fool submitting two applications weeks apart. If I hold off, well, duh, there's an obvious problem. I emailed admissions and asked for "confirmation of receipt of my application materials," they haven't responded yet. I can't believe I just plain can't remember if I filled theirs out or not. Since it's online, I have no photocopies of any of my apps, just confirmation emails. Sigh, anything else you recommend I do? Or is that about all I can do?

Mocking laughter and flames well deserved here. I feel like such a dumbass.
 

Maybe you shouldn't be going to college.

"Did I already take that final? Am I even enrolled in this class?!"

Every college gets thousands of applications. They don't give a sh!t if you apply to them 80 times, especially if you pay like $50 an application.

Yeah, I shot admissions an email asking about the status of my app...they didn't have one. :eek: Time to act surprised, and fill it out.
