<p>Has anyone called a university that you are applying to, just to check the status of your applicaton, and the admissions officers are rude and unprofessional? I can't begin to tell you how unorganized some of these top schools and Ivies are. They certainly don't run like a "well-oiled machine". Has anyone encountered this problem, or is it just me...?</p>
<p>My guess is it was probably a matter of bad timing.</p>
<p>Most of my encounters were not rude or unprofessional...my colleges were always very prompt and polite about responding to my various questions, and JHU has always responded in less than a day (calls and e-mails). I agree with ctnjpamom; this is a very busy and hectic time for admissions officers.</p>
