Confused

Well some of ya'll know my situation and others don't. So here is the rundown real quick. I have lived overseas so long that when it comes to choosing a school that I have been acepted to I am clueless. With that being said here's wussup. Today I was at my mom's job on the computer and I was trying to see if I could check the status of any of my applications online. Well while I am on her computer I figured I might as well check and see if any e-mails came to her inbox for me. So I'm scrolling thru her emails and I see one that is from one of the schools I applied to addressed to me.
So I open the message and low and behold it says that I've been accepted. Well I am kinda skeptical about the letter because I have never received and acceptance letter by e-mail and also because when I called this particular school the other day I was told that they had sent my information to another department and they couldn't tell me the status of my application. So now I have to go call this school again and find out the deal and that is gonna cost me a grip seeing as I live in wonderland.
The problem is that my mom is excited about the letter but I really don't know how I feel because I have been thru the run around with these colleges so I don't really think too much of these letters anymore.
And the other part of this problem is that another school that I applied to I called yesterday and talked to the lady in Admissions and I was trying to figure out how I could get them the info they needed from me. The lady told me to fax them the info and just bring a the offical documentation with me when I come. The staff at this school have been very helpful and strait forward with me for the go.
I mean I know its ultimately my decision on which college to choose I just feel like I am trapped.

Don't be afraid to try something new baby girl. Go for the college that you feel your going to be comfortable with and thats fits your needs financially, and educationally. As in reguards to the phone call. Shoot I'll call them for you because I have free long distance on the house phone anyway so I can talk to blazee blazee all day and forever. But make sure when you're talking to people to get there name what time you talked to them and the date. Just in case someone comes back and tells you something different. But really though If you want me to call them I definitely will Okay. Take care and email me later alrgiht. Peace

Sup Tiff...you know I know the situation. Well I've been in the same predicament and you're gonna have to stay on the schools. It's bad to say but these schools either have too much to do or they just dont remember much. I had to stay on my school of choice the whole admissions process. Because I had received word from the Admissions department that I had been accepted but it was only word of mouth and I felt the same way about it as you do and telling you from experience you're gonna have to remain presistent and continue to call, e-mail, or fax. You know you got all of my support and I wish you the best of luck with this process.
