Okay, I tried to call Allida today and kept getting her voicemail. I called four times!!! I am still going crazy! I'll have to try again tomorrow. 1stLady2, I noticed you said you kept getting her voicemail too. How many times did you call before she answered? Also, what time of day was it? The first time I called was at 3:00. Then I called every half hour after that until I realized I had already called four times and she still hadn't answered. I figured after that it was getting close for all of the office people to go home. I can't take it anymore!!!! Lol!!!

Lasdrs07,

You'll have better luck if you call her first thing in the morning. I've been checking all day to see if you got in!!!

Preemiemama, thank you! Do you have any idea what time she will be there in the morning? I have to be at work at 8:30, so that's why I didn't call until 3 today when I got off. I will definitely let you know when I find out!! I am SO nervous! I'm so worried that I didn't get in for some reason!!! Hopefully I'm just worrying too much...haha!

I called her at 9:00, and she returned my call by 11:00. Since you've already left her a message, she'll probably return your call in the morning. Hang-tight, good news is on the way!

lasdrs07 · May 12, 2009

Actually, I didn't leave her a message. Maybe I should have!!! :smackingf I won't be able to answer my phone while I'm at work though, so maybe she will leave me a message if I don't answer. I hope she'll tell me if I have been accepted or not in the message...lol.

Lasdrs07, I did the same thing. I didn't leave a message only because I wanted to talk to someone. I called a lot. But, like Preemiemama said, the best time is in the morning. If you get a break or something at work, try giving her a call and leave a message stating the nature of your call and that she can leave the message on your phone. Believe me, we know how you feel. On a brighter note, I got my packet today!!!! And it tells you to make an appointment with Financial aid as soon as you receive it, and she didn't pick up. I believe they stop answering calls after a certain time. But, it's on the way ladies!!!!!

Oh, and if you think we had questions before, wait until you get your packet. And then again, it could just be me :bugeyes:

lasdrs07 · May 12, 2009

Okay, maybe I'll try to call her sometime at work. If not, then maybe I'll get my packet tomorrow since you got yours today! Hopefully I will anyway!! I checked the mail today and didn't get anything. I'm sure I will definitely have more questions once I do get my packet...haha! Yeah, maybe they do stop answering calls after a certain time. Thanks for all of the info! :)

lasdrs07 I feel your Pain!! I talked with Ms. Willams this morning and Angie. I was told that they are behind schedule and they are accepting students in groups. the 190-180 score group was first. That left me out since I scored a 174. Angie then preceeded to tell me that there are 90 slots left and 300 pp trying to get in..... This really flipped me out!! I was practically begging her to accept me. LMAO... I think she felt sorry for me and told me she would make a note that I called and said that my packet was one that was on top. Whatever that means? I dunno....She was extremely nice.....She also said it could take another 2 weeks before they all get mailed out.... I am soooo frustrated right now....But I am trying to stay positive.....

Let me know PLEASE whatever you find out when you call.

lasdrs07 · May 12, 2009

Hey acorne! Oh my goodness, that makes me even MORE nervous now...haha! I scored a 187 on the test. I know that doesn't mean that I am definitely accepted though. What time of day did you call?? I am getting ready to go to work and don't know if I will be able to call until I get off work. 1stLady2 said she received her packet in the mail yesterday!! I am going crazy! Haha!! Who is the Angie lady that you talked to? Maybe I should call and ask for her!!

Lpntxn1 · May 12, 2009

Angie works in admissions. I think her last name is Meeks, but not positive. Ms. Willams transferred my call to her because I had a couple of questions she could not answer. They are both very nice over the phone. I called at 9am yesterday and left a message. When I did not hear back I called again around 11:30 and got Ms. Willams.

With a 187 you have a better chance than me!! I was told my score at 174 was not bad so yours is real good.

I pray we both get in!! Keep in touch!!

I called Allida on my way in to work this morning around 8:30 and got her voicemail again. So, I left a message this time, and just checked my phone and she still hasn't returned my call. I don't want to keep calling her so I don't know what to do. Maybe I should just wait on the mail, but I don't think I can...haha!! I worry way too much and have convinced myself that the reason she hasn't called me back is because maybe I didn't get accepted and she doesn't want to tell me over the phone. I know that is so silly...haha!! I just can't help it! She must be a very busy lady!!! Maybe I'll try again after work! I will definitely keep in touch, acorne. You keep in touch too! :)
