<p>Today, I got calls from Ohio State University and University of Maryland, College Park. </p>
<p>Ohio State doesn't post it's decisions online, but on the application status page it said decision made on Feb. 15. I don't know why UMCP would call.</p>
<p>Would they be calling to tell me about their decision?</p>
<p>Why don't you call them back and find out?</p>
<p>Yield phone calls have already started at many schools.</p>
<p>and they do what? Who cares what the student says over the phone........I mean they aren't going to offer you admission nor are they going to bind you to a contract.</p>
<p>Yield activities are those that are meant to reel students in. Students, administrators and faculty call students to see if they have questions. It's a way for kids to feel like the college really wants them and for some big schools, it might be a way to show a student that they won't be a number.</p>
<p>At a time when students are sending out more and more applications, colleges are feeling the need to do more when it comes to yield.</p>
