This morning I got into trouble:
I called Drexel to check my status, and found out they did not receive my payment. I did not have details with me of email i got with payment receipt.
Person who answered the phone was extremely rude. He told me to send email to the dean.
Unfortunately, I missed the email address of the dean even when he repeated it.
Can anyone help me and give the name for dean of admissions and his/her email.
Thanks in advance.

I have just a fragment of this email (what i could get from the conversation)- I searched website for about 1 hour to find a person who will match email fragment srowk?(then not clear)[email protected]
- no matches were found

Thank you guys!!
 
Do yourself and Drexel Med School a favor and call them up again and ask for the e-mail. Its not your fault that you didn't hear the sucker and Drexel pays those people to talk on the phone and they LOVE the publicity and interest they get. So what if you called them 2 times or 10 times? Its not like the guy is gonna get paid less or anything.
 
And next time ask for a third time, and if they still don't make sense ask for another person.

These people get paid to answer questions. They shouldn't be speaking gojiglian.

I would probably do this next morning, but I have a reservation: I was told by a person who was ADCOM that a receptionist who answers the phone might make a note of your call ( say: "he/she is a complete idiot" or "nice person"), and then tell it to adcoms. And that guy on the phone already knows my amcas number....
 
Gotta love rude people at these schools.:meanie:
 
I just want to throw this out there, but prices for professional hitmen have never been lower. It's a buyer's market out there!

lol, one thing I want to tell you is to stop being so timid! WHO CARES IF SHE MAKES A NOTE?! You're set out to get your work done, and if these people who are PAID to help you are not helping you, then there's a problem.
Seriously, these are people who you'll never meet or see and if you do, you'll never recognize them as "the person on the phone," so why do you care?
Don't make such an easy task hard on yourself.

Just say if you can get the dean's email address and/or name for some reason. If they don't ask your name, then it's no problem. If they do, maybe hang up, lol. Or just say you are planning to apply next cycle, so the school does not have a file, but you want to ask the dean some questions. 🙂

and be sure to use a disposable phone that can't be traced. critical.

If it was just a receptionist your probably fine. But if for some reason an admissions counselor answered the phone (sometimes happens later in the day)...the good ones remember everything so don't be annoying.
 
i am really not kidding about being paranoid. these offices are pretty small.

Dean: Hey Judy, want some coffee, i'm going to Starbucks?

Judy (phone person): yes, thanks good buddy.

Dean: btw, any interesting callers lately

Judy: Nah, not really, except this idiot who forgot to pay and wants to email you. i told him the email address like 4 times and guess what he did?

Dean: What, I'm very interested in what he said and did next. Very. the coffee can wait, Judy.

Judy: I know. SOOO weird. Well, anyhoo, he called back the next day and asked AGAIN for your email address. AND he pretended to be someone else!!

Dean: LOL. good thing we installed that AMCAS caller ID system last year. What's his number?

Judy: Don't worry, Dean he's already in the "reject for calling us with stupid questions" pile. It'll go out today.

Dean: Good job Judy. I know I can count on you to protect us from the losers.

Dean: and the usual? triple shot grande latte, extra foam, with sugar free hazelnut?

Judy: yes, thanks Dean. so glad we are so tight. you know my drink. i save you from the loser callers.

Taking crap to the NEXUS level.

You all laugh but stuff like this does happen if this guy really pissed this person off...

thank you. i agree that it is some of my best work!!!
 
you guys are evil :meanie:
 
If the administration of the school gets that pissed off when somebody can't understand an e-mail address over the phone, I say good riddance to that school.

You sound like the pre-health advisor at my university. Whenever I'd voice a concern about being rejected for some stupid reason or another, she'd say something to the effect of, "Well if a school is going to reject people for something like that, you don't want to go there anyway." I always wanted to say, "But what if every school rejects me for something like that? Then what?"

Anyway, now that I've thought things through, I agree. Any school that rejects for something like a phonecall is probably not worth attending. You'd think they'd prefer a student who cares enough to make sure they do things correctly over a student who doesn't.
