Is it frowned upon to call the Admissions office about the status of an application?

Question:
Is calling the Admissions office frowned upon to check on the status of one's application? For example, checking if anything is missing; being reviewed...etc. Also, if one does call should one leave a voice mail and wait to be called back or talk with somebody direct...appreciate any feedback tks.


Answer:
I think it is very appropriate for applicants to contact schools when they have questions about the status of their pharmacy school application. Of course, be respectful and appreciative of their time, but the admissions staff is there to answer your questions. Because many who work in these offices are sometimes traveling, you may be better served by sending an email, but my experience has always been that if you need to leave a voicemail, someone will call you back.

Good luck,
