•••quote:••• Hi perplexed,
Was just reading the message board and decided to drop a few lines. Are you saying that calling the schools one has applied to can help increase ones' chances of being considered? I've actually applied to BU and UPenn. I've done the UPenn interview and am hoping for the best and keeping my fingers crossed. I'm also trying to be open minded so that I won't be too dissappointed if I don't get in. I guess I'll be asking for more advice later. Till then, thumbs up for the counselling job you've taken up! ••••Hey ! Calling up schools will not improve your chances ... I just said that
. But its always nice to keep in touch with them ( if not anything else, they'll know WE ARE ALIVE HERE ...
)You can either call them up or e-mail them once in a while.
But in UPENN even that is not always possible ( thnx to Dr NL
). <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" /> After the interview nothing else really matters ...but it is still important to send them thank you letters.
Its good that you are keeping your options open, just banking on one school can be very very stressful. If possible apply to all the schools that still have their admissions open.
I am free now ... ask away all you want , if I have an answer I'll definitely put it here.
Ya . I've found a counselling job for myself, haven't I ?
I know how difficult it can be to get all the info esp when you have no one to approach or guide you .. I've been there ... done that .. So this is just my bit to help you guys pull thru . I sincerely hope that I have been of help & will be of help atleast to some of you.
