<p>Hey all, just wondering if anyone had gotten a call from their area's admissions officer at UPenn. I got one Monday evening and have been wondering whether it was a good or bad thing....</p>
<p>I'd love to know if anyone else had been called, and if not, I'd love to know what you guys thought of it....good, bad, or no big deal?</p>
<p>What did the admission’s officer want?</p>
<p>Do you really not have the discernment to distinguish whether the call was auspicious or not?</p>
<p>Just why I picked the major I did, how many times I’d been there. It was a brief call but I wasn’t expecting it at all. </p>
<p>And no I don’t, apparently.</p>
<p>To me, it sounds like they were making some last-minute decisions…</p>
<p>I apologize for my overly caustic comment above…I’m just a little nervous with decisions being tomorrow and such.</p>
<p>“overly caustic”</p>
<p>“auspicious”</p>
<p>learn to chat dude. it doesnt make you look smart.</p>
<p>definitely a good thing hahaha.
i remember my guidance counselor at middle school saying that they received a call from andover (boarding school) asking why i had so many absences
two days after i found out i was accepted :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Learn to punctuate and capitalize, dude. It might make you look a little smarter.</p>
<p>Lol, never heard of admissions calling applicants but who knows.</p>
<p>Did you have an alumni interview? If not, maybe that was why they called</p>
<p>i agree with powerbomb’s second comment: i think they were making a last minute decision, between maybe a group of 2 or 3 applicants, and wanted to make the decision between defer and accept.</p>
<p>and btw, this is a chat… you don’t need to capitalize, punctuate, have proper grammar, or anything. just leave that alone.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And I’m also free to use the words “auspicious” and “caustic.”</p>
<p>Yes, I did have an alumni interview…I really am at a loss as to why they would call me, especially so close to decisions coming out…all of what you guys have said does make sense…so I don’t know…hopefully it’s something good. lol. </p>
<p>oh and I def am really nervous about tomorrow too, I understand, no worries =]</p>
<p>Maybe it was a prank call by one of your friends…that would be hilarious. Cruel, but hilarious</p>
<p>Oh definitely wasn’t- that would be absolutely terrible!!! I’m just hoping it doesn’t mean i’ve been like, totally eliminated from the heap of applicationsss.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it’s a good sign. The people who are saying it’s a prank is probably just anxious, which is perfectly understandable. Good luck to all.</p>
<p>I’m just curious… What is your declared major? In my opinion, I think the call is probably a good thing–the way I see it, it’s a very favorable situation that they are still talking about you.</p>
<p>It was biomedical science. No one else I’ve talked to has even heard about this whole calling buisness so who knows. I can only hope for the best- nothing I can do now.</p>
<p>yes, powerbomb, you should also be free to use whatever words you want from “hi” to “antidisestablishmentarianism”.</p>
