How often do you call the schools you're applying to? and what kind of questions do you ask them?
Do you call if you get a rejection also? and what do you say?
just curious
thanks
 
Uhhh... I only call them if there seems to be a problem with my app (usually missing stuff that shouldn't be missing). I've had to call various schools surprisingly more often than I thought I would have to.

I would not call unless you suspect there's a problem. Processing time can take a while and make you antsy.

I have yet to call a school besides for a tour earlier
 
i give them the week to cash my check before i call and make sure everything is alright.
 
I would only call to make sure all your stuff is arrived and in good order, I wouldn't ask if they've already looked at it, or asking if the receptionist has any idea what they think of you...thats ridiculous lol

I also think calling because of a rejection is a little backwards too...just move on, calling and asking for an explanation isn't going to get you in, they've made their decision
