<p>All I know is that any school that called my son on his cell phone during school hours would drop to the bottom of my preferred list really fast!</p>
<p>I wonder if they believed they were calling the parent. With so many fields for “contact” numbers, it’s possible things might have gotten jumbled.</p>
<p>I was really upset to learn a HADES school (and member of Ten Schools) told a family their kid was in today (a day early). They are NOT a legacy. There are rules and it is really sad that they cannot be respected.</p>
<p>There might also have been a time difference issue, that is if you live somewhere other than the East Coast. They might not have thought of it when making the call.</p>
<p>crar24- How sure are you of your source? Sometimes messages get jumbled, particularly when filtered through the brain of an optimistic child. A coach’s “Can’t wait to see you here” or the lack of a call to a family with ties to the school can feel like a guarantee of admission when in fact the deal is not sealed until the letter or email arrives.</p>
<p>What school was it?</p>
<p>Rather not say the school as it angers me (and I dont have absolute proof so why bias people against this school). Someone definitely said they were notified their child is accepted and they found out this morning. It is a HADES school and I for one cannot believe they would find out early as they are not a VIP or legacy or have any reason to know a day early.</p>
<p>Might have just been a crack in the process. I, for example, know someone who wasn’t a legacy at a HADES school who was called the day before by mistake–someone mixed up the phone numbers. Once the AO realized the mistake, they gave the unconnected person the admissions decision because, really, what else was the AO going to do? </p>
<p>No system is perfect–unless a bunch of people start popping up with these stories, I’d assume it’s the exception that proves the rule.</p>
