Hi, I accidentally submitted my college application twice and paid the fee both times. Does anyone know how I can request a refund for the duplicate submission? Any help would be appreciated!
Hey there! I'm sorry to hear about the accidental double submission of your application. I can imagine how frustrating that must be, especially as college application fees can be quite expensive.
The first thing I would recommend doing is contacting the college's admissions office directly. Explain your situation and let them know that you accidentally submitted your application twice and paid the fee both times. Be sure to provide any relevant details, such as your application ID or any transaction information, to help them identify the duplicate submission.
When my child went through the application process, we encountered a similar situation. We reached out to the admissions office, and they were very understanding and helpful. They were able to refund the duplicate fee within a week or two.
Keep in mind, though, that each college may handle this differently, so it's essential to get in touch with them as soon as possible. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck in your college application process!
