<p>I know, this may seem like a stupid question but how do I address an adcom?? I am going to call her either today or tomorrow. I am also pretty nervous because I have a list of things I need to mention but I don't want the call to come across as scripted. </p>
<p>If her name was listed online as simply "Jane Smith", would I call her Jane? Ms. Smith? I don't know her marital status so I am not really sure what to do.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help. :)</p>
<p>I think Ms. Smith would be just fine. Depending on the school, she might tell you to call her by her first name.</p>
<p>Kudos to you for calling an admission officer yourself. It's refreshing to hear from students directly instead of a counselor or parent. We're happy to talk to counselors and parents, but it's especially nice to talk directly to students.</p>
<p>Oh reeeeally? Maybe I should give my admissions rep a call. I have so many questions I would like to ask, but I have always been afraid to call or email. I know it's good for "applicant interest" but I always feel stupid when I try.</p>
<p>So I am feeling a little dejected right now. An alumni told me to contact a certain person in admissions to talk about my application. So apparently, this woman is the senior associate director of admissions and when I called the admissions office, the secretary was giving me a hard time about talking to her. She came back to the phone and said she was busy and will call me back later today. I guess I feel like they don't want me to talk to her. It is almost like they feel I will be wasting her time.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have an exp. with this sort of thing??</p>
