does anyone know what the waitlist movement has been like in the past during the phone call situation??? do they call a few people a week or are there weeks without anyone receiving a call???
Just the thought that I am expecting a call that may never come for 7-8 weeks at any day out of the week is freaking me out. I guess not knowing what I'm going to be doing 2 months from now is pretty freaking me out too...
please call me soon mr. rosso!!!
I talked to Mr. Rosso last week and he said that as of now, the class is full (as we knew). There are a few acceptances he sent out by mail, so they are pending. If a space opens up, he calls the first candidate on the list at the phone number you gave them. If he doesn't get a live person (say, your cell phone) he'll go to the next phone number you gave him (say, your home phone). You can give him a bunch of numbers, all of people you trust. But, if he calls all 2, 5 or 7 of your number and doesn't get a live voice, he'll have to go onto the next student candidate in the list. You'll lose your spot, basically, if he doesn't get a live person.
now here's where I got confused: lets say he calls me, I don't answer, so he calls my brother (say, the next person on my list). My brother picks up, and he can't accept the position for me, he can only take the message from Mr. Rosso and then call ME asap. I then call Mr. Rosso to accept the slot immediately (if you want it, of course). If Mr. Rosso calls you in the morning, you have until 4.30 pm that afternoon to return the call. If he calls you in the afternoon, you have until 9am the next morning ot return the call. You don't return it, you lose the slot.
I think the office is open 8.30 - 4.30 pm Monday - Friday but it could be 8am - 4pm. Maybe someone else can check?
Also, as of Friday, they were still in the upper third.
🙁
He did say, that some people immediately decline his offer so he goes right to the next person on the list. So the phone calls greatly speed up the process for him. Also, some people only give him one or two numbers and if they don't pick up he may have to go to the next person on the list.
I think that's about all the information I got. He's very helpful within the realm of what he's allowed to talk about.
