Receiving a phone call to apply for Alumni scholarship?

<p>I got a phone call yesterday from a UCLA alumni to apply for the Alumni scholarship.
I wasn't able to answer the phone, so she left a message.</p>

<p>It seems like a lot of people got an email, but I checked and I didn't get one.</p>

<p>Why is that?
Is there any difference between a phone call and an email?
I thought about it, and I wondered how the alumni association could call every applicant.</p>

<p>It doesn't matter. When you become a alumni scholarship recipient you have a community service requirement, and calling people is just one of those jobs you could do to fulfill it.</p>

<p>If an applicant gets this phone call, does that mean they can be pretty sure of being admitted to UCLA? I know that's true for the Regents. Is it true for the Alumni scholarship?</p>

<p>No, there isn't a guarantee. I knew many people who got notice of the scholarship last year.</p>
