Weird Phone Call/Contact from College... PartII

<p>Alright, so I posted on here earlier about getting a phone call from an Ivy. Here is the background:</p>

<p>I ended up submitting my application, and neglected to send a payment, peer evaluation, or test scores. I ended up interviewing, but didn't send anything else, ultimately deciding not to complete my application. I got an email from admissions in February... it was basically the same thing about how I need to submit my materials by March 1st, blah blah blah. I didn't complete it... figured that it wouldn't be reviewed. Anyways, I get a call this morning from an admissions officer about how they need my test scores (NOT my payment or peer evaluation) to complete my application because they are sending out decisions in a little over a week. The lady even said they would be willing to accept unofficial scores.</p>

<p>So I sent my unofficial scores they day they were requested. The next day, later in the afternoon, I got an email saying that my payment/fee waiver was missing. I ultimately sent it in because I would love to attend the school, and I don't want to ever wonder "what if." Them asking for payment confuses me. Part of me thinks it's them wanting to get a quick seventy bucks out of someone. But another part thinks that since the lady emailed me in the afternoon, my application must have been discussed, and they need the payment to complete my application. Idk. Sorry to keep asking for opinions, but anyone? Please?</p>

<p>Considering you skipped the peer evaluation, I’d presume that you will probably still be rejected from Dartmouth. If you “would love to attend” Dartmouth, you should have actually gone through the application process. No one can know for sure, but I wouldn’t say this means you’re accepted.</p>

<p>Yeah, this was brought up in my previous post. The only reason I didn’t complete my application was because of financial issues.</p>

<p>I just don’t know why they would pursue the issue so much if it didn’t mean anything. And wouldn’t they let me know about my peer evaluation if they wanted it so bad?</p>

<p>BTW - the call I got was this Wednesday.</p>

<p>^ It’s possible that they only count complete applications in their admissions rates, so pestering applicants to complete their applications at the last minute would help them lower their acceptance percentage.</p>

<p>Just a guess. But honestly, I can’t see an acceptance coming from a situation like this at all. Dartmouth is not a desperate school. They’ve got far too many extremely qualified applicants with complete applications to reward those who didn’t even finish the process.
Perhaps I’m wrong-- but I just don’t think this is at all to get hopes up over.</p>

<p>I see what you mean. Technically my application is still incomplete because they don’t have the peer evaluation, which they never asked for in the contact made this week.</p>
