<p>Did anyone else get a phone call from a current student?</p>
<p>This girl called me and asked if she could "make my decision easier" or if she could answer any questions.</p>
<p>I sent my app in late November and have been in contact with the admissions officer that inaterviewed me, but i've never received anything beyond an email.</p>
<p>I received a phone call... The admissions office seems really good about keeping in touch with applicants. It's kinda cool. :-)</p>
<p>I've received a bunch of e-mails, etc from my sports coach, but no call from a student or anything from the admissions counselor.</p>
<p>it might just be a phonathon thing where students get paid for making calls...we have that in my college too.....</p>
<p>I'm not sure about that though. When I asked the girl about finaid she said she really couldn't help me there since she had never had any finaid/filled out fafsa. So, in other words, she's not in much need of money.</p>
<p>The admission office hires students to contact prospies and help answer any questions they may have.</p>
<p>"So, in other words, she's not in much need of money."</p>
<p>Two hours of work a week won't pay bills; however, they'll build a person's resume and prob. give her a foot in the door should she want to work for admissions later on, as a student-intern or post-whitman as an office. Face time is valuable.</p>
