Do Uni's phone up your school for verification?

<p>Hey</p>

<p>I’m a student from Australia applying probably ED to Princeton. I’m wondering if admissions would call my school during november-december because there would literally be nobody there to answer it. My school finishes in November and until January there would be no-one at the school except for a gamekeeper.</p>

<p>Should I ask my teachers to give me their mobile’s and personal emails because a few of my teachers are going on holiday? I’m really worried they call up for verification of transcripts and recommendations etc and that nobody answers their calls. I really don’t want to ask my teachers for such personal stuff but do you guys think I need to?</p>

<p>This is one question even i wanted to raise… i am frm INDIA
do colleges call or email for verification of the following:</p>

<p>LORS
School Transcripts
Letters and Requests made my school on letterhead
Signed Results
Forms data
Personal Comments on charatcter or something of a personal info…
Other data</p>

<p>Have any 1 of u had the EXPERIANCE WHEN AN ADCOMM CALLED UP THE TEACHER OR SCHOOL FOR ANY INFO…</p>

<p>I know some1 who gave wrong personal data in all these forms about teachers so no ways his teahers could be contactted. He got in easily without any problem whatsoever…
SO WAS IT A WISE STEP OR IDIOTIC…</p>

<p>Smartmind: Apart from being unethical this is a crime, also you can get banned from the US forever since we need to get I-20 visas with forms the college send us and the counselour needs to send back a green form with our latest grades when we get in!</p>

<p>The chances of them calling are hard but they can call!</p>

<p>The chances of them calling a very low. I mean, they have thousands of students applying; there’s no way that they’d have the time to call every single school. If they find something suspicious with your application, then they might call. Otherwise, probably not.</p>

<p>So as a precaution I should ask my teachers, principal and counsellor to give me their home phones/mobiles and personal emails?</p>

<p>and the case i told wasnt my own… was a guyy i know… i was just tellin… neways…so what shud 1 do… provide private emails of teachers… etc…</p>

<p>BTW i am getting all done normaly as my teachers are pretty cool and helplful with these…
Thanx and keep replying</p>

<p>Give your teacher mobiles if you think thats best!</p>

<p>My teachers check their school email via webmail on the holidays (since they are mostly sexual tourists they will probably be on Thailand…)</p>

<p>haha. lol. Just imagine an admissions officer callin up and all they get is just grunting, moaning and panting … not gonna do my chances any good.</p>

10

<p>exactly.but u never know… when these ppl call for verif.</p>

<p>I doubt they would call. No one(on cc… to my knowledge) reported admission officers calling in the last year’s and this year’s admission time. I think they email highschool councillers but it’s quite rare. If some info is missing, they email you.
Schools rarely check for verification in studen’ts activities and stuff. Only in real bogus applications when someone dumb enough says they are School pres, captain of x team, etc… and their recommendations state that the student does not participate in anything much.</p>

12

<p>Cool …coz my techers will giv their emails and they rarely check them…</p>

13

<p>mmm. i wish my counsellor doesn’t go on one of her long bushwalking trips around australia… She’s been doing it for the past 14 years. I wonder how many net-cafe’s there are in outback aus …</p>

<p>dont worry things will work out to be fine</p>

15

<p>unless you have some major discrepancies in your app, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll call or email the school or the teachers.</p>

<p>and if you come off as bogus to the AOs, they’ll probably just put you into the rejected pile instead of bothering to call up unknown teachers in unknown schools in different time zones. </p>

<p>well… that’s just what i think.</p>
