Hey folks!
Ok, so to address some of the stuff mentioned in here...
1) Last year, most people who got in received a phone call. Dean Zic usually tries to call everyone. If you don't get the call, don't panic, there was probably some logistical issue at play. It's not just for merit scholarships though- that's another phone call, way later in the game.
2) I believe he calls from a private number- probably from home, judging from the time he called last year- so look for that rather than the (615).
3) Yes, if you don't pick up, he leaves a voicemail. He did that for me. And no, it's not a fake voicemail, like "Hi, just call me back thanks". He says his name, that he's calling from vanderbilt school of medicine, congratulations, he'd like to invite you to join the class of 2014, you'll get something in the mail, and btw second look weekend is sometime in april, congrats again, let me know if you have any questions.
Yes, my voicemail is still saved on my phone.
4) He tends to call after business hours to make sure people are home, so don't start panicking at like 10 am cause that wont do you any good. I'm guessing it'll be around 6 or 7 tomorrow, but it may be later than that.
5) Don't worry if you feel like you didn't grasp any of what he said- the relevant stuff will be in the mail you get at home, which should be coming within the next week or so.
6) Last year I interviewed in the beginning-ish of Sept and my interview day was one of the last to be notified on Oct 15, I think. So I'm guessing if you didn't interview a month ago at the latest, you might not find out until the second wave of calls.
I think that covers most of it. Good luck guys!!!! Let me know if you have any questions- first years have intersession right now so we're nice and relaxed.
