If we've received your payment of $90 (check or money order)...

Today's group of applicants was especially competitive and while we feel certain that you will make a positive impact wherever you might end up it is with deep regret that I inform I will not be able to return your phone call.

Thank you for calling. At this point of the process we are unable to return your call. Your call has been placed in the "intermediate" file. Please feel free to forward any additional information that you think may assist us in making our decision (i.e. a letter stating that you did, in fact, intend to call us and nobody else).

Thank you and good luck,

Beeeeeep

Hehe, actually a kinda funny story...

My buddy was applying to med schools last year and he had a party at his house one night. One of his drunk friends changed his message machine to say, "Hi! You've reached Doug's PALACE OF LOOOVE. I'm not here right not, but I'll call you back as soon as I can."

The next day a med school called inviting him for an interview and got the machine because he wasn't home. We about died when we realized that he had no idea the outgoing message had been changed. hehe
