<p>Hmm… well, I got both the likely and the Echols pool call in mid March, but I wonder if anyone who got the Echols call (which are apparently made by current Echols scholars and inform applicants that the admissions office has found to be strong candidates + answer Qs about the program) didn’t get an invitation to the program?</p>
<p>It’d be… slightly cruel, in my opinion, to call a person and tell them that they’re a strong candidate for something and then not offer them admission to the honor/program. :-/</p>
