| NMR....shockingly (TO ME, that is), I think this DOES happen. I can't imagine calling a school after a rejection in this way but apparently it is common. I first came to realize this when back in my oldest child's junior year of HS, we were on a college visit and my D had lined up various appointments on campus and I took care of lining up the tour and information session. This particular school normally gives information sessions, but on the date we were visiting, they only had the tours. While waiting for the tour, I asked how come there were no information sessions on that day and the person explained that the admissions decisions had just gone out (this was late March) and that the adcoms were so busy fielding phone calls from parents (of those rejected)! I just could not believe it as I would never think to do that and we didn't for either child. But apparently, it happens more than you would think and thus, BOCO's procedure. Many of the highly selective colleges (non-MT) post decisions online at 5:00 or 5:30 March 31 or April 1. My D found out several schools at once. |
