Just wondering if anyone else received a phone call from U Penn? I got a message today from a lady named Barb who said that the chairman, Dr. Lackman, would like to speak with me about my application to their Ortho program. I am to call him on the morning of November 25th, and then she left the number.
I thought this was very odd. If they wanted to invite me for an interview, I wouldn't think the chairman would need to do it himself, so what does he want to talk with me about??
Anyone else get this message? Anyone know what it's about??
thanks... :smokin:

Thanks for the input guys. I'm anxiously awaiting Monday morning when I can call. Everyone I talk to seems to think it is probably a good thing, I just can't imagine what. But, we'll see soon enough... :smokin:

For what it is worth, my husband is a Penn student... and Barb is the residency coordinator for ortho and Lackman is indeed the chair... so at least it is legit. I have NO clue why they would be calling. Very interesting. Penn has given interview dates to their own candidates but not external ones yet... so maybe you will be the first! :tongue:

Maybe he likes you in that "special" way. One of two things as far as I can see. One, you lied on your app and he caught you so now he wants to blackball you. Two, he likes you so much he wants to offer you a spot outside of the NRMP match. Hopefully its the latter or perhaps neither. Keep us updated bro!
