Sanders, I thought exactly the same thing and freaked out thinking it was one of the schools, that's the only reason I didn't hang up on them. Where did you apply?
They are a market research company called WBA Research. The policy is to only leave messages every other time we call so as to not fill up peoples answering machines. More information can be found at www.wbaresearch.com and clicking on Contacted for a Survey. As an interviewer just making enough spending money until I graduate college, I and my co-workers don't want to bother you!!! We just call the numbers our supervisors put in the computer. In fact, if you call this number back, you can give a supervisor who answers your opinions of them and their practices. Or, if you pick up, tell us that you want to be added onto the offices internal do not call list if you never want to be contacted for any survey we do again. Otherwise, we have to make 4-6 attempts to call you, and hanging up on us means we have to put "hang up" and try back. It is important research they do, but it should be up to you, the consumer, to decide if you want to participate.
