The Wait is Getting Scary, Now

[brown_eyed_girl]

I called the admissions office just now. I sort of buckled. I said I wasn't going to do it, and then I did. I stumbled over myself in asking when I might hear anything and she said not for at least another week or two. There is hope. 

 

I won't call again though. She seemed to wonder why I was calling her. 

 

That's pretty frustrating if you've been admitted to other schools that need to hear back by the 15th. I think it would be fine to say that to the admissions person in a polite way (say that it's your top choice but other schools are waiting to hear back and you'd like to be able to make an informed decision), though it won't necessarily hasten the response. February 15 is a pretty late application deadline. 

 

In the meantime, I think you and TheChai (and anyone else in a similar position) should request extensions from the other schools waiting on your responses since you won't have all the information by the 15th.
