Hounding them?

So my husband spoke with someone that just graduated from one of the nursing programs I applied to. It's actually my first choice! Well, she told him that she initially was put on the waiting list, but called and emailed them all the time and was finally offerred a spot. She told him that her best advice is to "keep calling and hounding them because that is what they want". :stone I'm thinking, they're going to think something along the lines of, if she's this much of a pain in the a$$ now, what will she be like in school?

This woman told my husband that if she had known what she knows now, she would have been calling them from the get-go. Now my husband thinks I should be calling the school every day. I mean, letters go out in about 2-3 weeks. I can't see how making a million calls will increase my chances.

What are your thoughts on this?

    I worried about hounding my school, but they gave me lots of reasons to. First, I got a rejection letter telling me to improve my GPA. The GPA they figured turned out to be wrong.

    Then, I got a message saying my status had changed and I had been accepted to the program.

    THEN, I overheard another girl getting upset because she found out she was an alternate, so I asked to make sure I was actually in. I wasn't! I was an alternate, too! It turns out they sent the wrong email to every alternate.

    I eventually got in, but geez! I've made sure to keep up with every little thing, just in case, since then.:rolleyes:

    I don't think you should call every day, but I do think you should check in periodically. I am going to confirm my tests scores with them after I receive my results. My school has lost my application, my check, etc. so I don't trust them to not lose my results.

    I was also going to ask for an interview if one wasn't requested. I thought maybe I could charm them. LOL!!

    The cutoff for my school's application and pre req's was Feb 28th. I had recieved a letter stating they did recieve my application and I called them on Feb 27th to make sure all my pre req grades were in. She recited them to me, they were the correct grades. So, all I can do is wait. They pick who gets in soley on GPA, so calling them now won't help me one bit. They have everything and all I can do is hope and wait.

    Good luck! :)
