what do you say when you call for an update?

Do you just ask what the status of your application is?

Dang you took my answer. I would have been a little more PC and called the person lady or dude. Maybe something along the line of "What's the hold up?"

Call them 3 times per day, but say you're a different person each time or ask for a different person each time. Eventually, they'll just accept you because you're so motivated. Or you can alternate between calling, emailing, texting, and visiting personally. Those count as separate.

On a more serious note, I call and ask to see if a decision has been made on my application - they generally know what that means.

Be sure to check the admissions website to see if there are "preferred" days/times for phone calls regarding current applications (e.g. Tulane accepts calls on Tues & Thurs between 10am and 2pm CST).

Good luck.

so i just called a bunch of schools and WOW some of the ppl are SOO nice and others are SOOOOOO mean! i can't believe it! do you think admissions counselors' manners (or lack there of) reflects the school?

as a side note, all i said is "hi im just wondering if i can check the status of my application" in a super sweet voice (which btw takes a lot of energy! haha)

my friend and i called the same school once.

i got a nice person, really helpful and told me everything i needed.
my friend, though, got a jerk who said they weren't allowed to give out any info.

"hi my name is _____ and i am an applicant in the current cycle. I was wondering about the status of my application."

it's usually a pretty awkward conversation with LOTs of pause and waiting and hoping the other person will break the silence while your also counting seconds so there won't be too long a gap in the conversation. sort like a blind date phone call.
