i handled business or what?


Question Posted Tuesday January 23 2007, 4:40 pm

I wanted to apply to this school and i went to myb school and asked them to send my transcript and i sent my application but i have this thing about people doing htings for me because in the past i have had officials mail things for me before and they sometimes came up saying that the facility never got them. But anyway i wanted to make sure everything went where it was supposed to go so i waited until the next week and i begin calling the school to see if they got it maybe i called like 15 times since today and i always got the answerinf machine and i left messages and they didn't call me back but i finally got through today and i was told my transcript was never recieved do yo t hink i was wrong for calling so many times and would you have been annoyed if i had left that many messages on your phone?

I think that leaving 15 messages in a single day was rather over-the-top. It would have been appropriate to leave no more than two messages. You could certainly have called as often as you like, but then just hang up when the machine picks up the phone.

______________________________________

Edit: in light of the fact that the calls took place over the course of two weeks, not just a single day, I would say that one message per day would be most appropriate, but by the same token a total of fifteen (about 1.5 per day) is not excessive.

Well, fifteen is pushing it a little bit but that doesn't matter. It just shows them that you're really dedicated to getting into their school.

hey, yes i would. you should leave one brief message but with all the facts. leaving multiple messages just showed that you were immature and that is probably why they didnt take action.
