<p>I called the admissions office today with a question. Just started off normally, "Hi, this is Abby Blahblah, and..."</p>
<p>"Sorry to interrupt, but what's your birthday?"</p>
<p><em>Thinking "why would they need to know that?"</em>
"Oh, um, October 17."</p>
<p>"Okay, sorry, it's just that we have two Abby Blahblahs in our system."</p>
<p>WEIRD! I hope this doesn't affect my chances, lol :P</p>
<p>Since they called to confirm your birthday, i'd say you're fine. :P
And unless the same person reads both files, it shouldnt be a problem.</p>
<p>wow! what are the odds of having two Abby Blahblahs applying at the same time! I mean, it's not a very common last name!</p>
<p>MBP i don't think Blahblah is the real name. and saammie magneticpoet called the admission office not the other way round</p>
<p>I wonder what they would have asked next had you had the same birthday as the other Abby B.</p>
<p>social security maybe? haha.
and i think mbp was being funny... i dont think anyone thought blahblah was my real last name!</p>
<p>Haha, I wasn't paying proper attention :P
To revise my post; lucky YOU called so they dont mix you two up.</p>
<p>yeah he probably was. still, its almost as if they were waiting for you to call</p>
<p>yeah, i was joking. internet forums aren't the best places for joking, especially for sarcasm. Blahblah would be a pretty B.A. last name, in my opinion, though. :D</p>
<p>i know, my friends will be all sarcastic on facebook or whatever and i have to remind them that black and white text has no tone of voice. :p</p>
<p>i would OWN that last name.
...but what if... there were really two abby blahblahs really applying to macalester? it's like... an episode of the twilight zone, or something. </p>
<p>okay, not really.</p>
