Strange phone call from CM

My son got such a call a couple of months ago (January?) - they call it “making student connections”. You may see it on the list of things on the CMU application status website as MSC #1 (or #2 whatever). I don’t think it necessarily correlates to a positive sign (but we can hope so!). They have student volunteers call the prospective students. He got his phone call shortly after the “application complete” notation appeared on his status list. It is my understanding that some other student volunteers call accepted students on or after April 1st. There are some CMU applicants who’ve been getting calls this week in which they’ve been told they’re accepted, but apparently it’s because they are being invited to diversity weekend.
