about 30 min later i get a blocked call and its them. they start asking me questions about things, like my classification (junior) and my gpa (3.0) and then they asked me i i was full time last semester and this semester, well i was last semester but this semester i am not because i couldnt get into one of the classes i needed. so that disqualified me. they sounded a little disappointed.

im super sad!! i had no idea i had to be full time for 2 semesters. now i will have to wait a whole year to try again and cross as a senior. will they still even want me then?? is my chance completely over???

While I don't believe this is a troll, I do find some holes in this story.

The legit parts: The blocked call, the informal background check, etc.

The parts where I feel you should have known better: If this is the org I think it is, the full-time requirement is definitely on their national website and always has been.

Secondly, a typical full course load is five classes, at least at my alma mater. If you dropped one, you would still be full-time. My question is why would you intentionally go less than full-time? (This just wasn't common at my school unless you intended to graduate later than planned.)

I don't know. I empathize with you, but there will be other chances. (And I wonder why you didn't do it last year)
