Phone Call from WUSTL?

[stheart]

Did anyone else get a phone call from Washington University in St. Louis before they finished submitting the application? I did. I've had schools in the past call me after I'd been accepted, but never before I'd even submitted the application. My advisor thinks it's a good sign, but poking around this forum someone said they get a very "sales" vibe to WUSTL admissions, and I could see how that could be the case.

I did, and I found it strange, too. This was in the very beginning stages of the application— I believe I’d only filled out the personal information section at this point, and I ultimately ended up deciding not to apply there (for other reasons).

Yikes, sounds like they dispatch people to call incomplete applications. I'm not special!
