just call them....you guys realize that admissions staff have NOTHING to do with selection right? An admin assistant you pester 100 times a day couldn't change an iota in the decision making process...

It's not like Betty, whom you called 10 times in a day, will get annoyed and go find me in my lab and tell me that you are annoying and thus don't deserve to get in....

P.S. Please "Like" this... I haven't been on this for a long time and need to change some stuff in the profile, but there is this new crap about like ratio to posts....

Per my health professions committee, one pre-dent was actually excluded from admissions solely because she kept on bugging the admissions staff. My state school called my pre-dental advisor and informed her that this person was not going to be selected because she was not patient! Be careful.

Edited to add one phone call is very different from calling multiple times per week, etc. Just wanted to clarify 🙂

It's true if you pester them a bunch it can be a negative thing, but expressing interest through occasionally contacting the school doesn't hurt in my opinion. Squeaky wheel gets the grease 😉

Although "Betty" may not come find you in lab for calling 10 times a day, she very well may come find you if you're rude/disrespectful to her.
