American Public University System — Attraction in Charles Town

I have absolutely, never in my life dealt with such a crazy process. I filled out all the application, started my financial aid, was even informed from fafsa that the funds were released, uploaded my drivers license, proof of residency, and my had my official GED transcripts sent from the granting institution just to be argued with and told that those weren’t the official documents.
