<p>For all of you asinine people out there who refused to believe me, here's proof directly quoted from my GC:</p>

<p>"[The call] is to provide any information that might help sway one way or another. It is to seek last minute information so the office can make a good decision. Remember I am very old and have been doing college work almost 30 years so I get called because of my tenure and my relations with offices around the nation. Though it is not bargaining, it is getting more information."</p>

<p>There you go.</p>

<p>you could have just made all that up lol. im j/p =P but still you never know :)</p>

63

<p>Well, after reading all this, I went up to my GC today and told her I heard rumours about Penn calling and instead she told me, "Oh by the way, MIT called last week.... I think you should start working on your regular apps."
I felt so bad the rest of the day!</p>

<p>Rohan, my counselor said the same thing; usually, colleges will not divulge information regarding acceptances/rejections. The calls aim to uncover information that could affect a decision.</p>

65

<p>Any one from public school that got a call???</p>

66

<p>My college counselor talked to the regional director on thursday. Its just a call the discuss the applicant but no actual decison from Penn will be revealed. Its just a chance for your counselor to talk you up and make you sound better than you are.</p>

67

<p>Maybe (s)he knows your decision and just didn't want to tell you?</p>

68

<p>considering our relationship....i highly doubt that.</p>
