So... I missed a phone call at around 8p. It was an unfamiliar number, so I called the number back, and an automatic message said it was a "nonworking phone number at UMDNJ"

So I went online and did a reverse lookup of the phone number to find out that it was RWJ, UMDNJ. I interviewed there about a while ago, and I haven't heard back since...

What reasons are there for a med school to call you at around 8p? Do they call to give out waitlists/holds/rejections?

They probably won't call back if you missed the phone call right? Can I call back the next day and say I missed a phone call last night from your med school, could I ask what it was about?

i got a call from a dean around 8 or 830pm once. call in the morning sure, or just wait...theyll contact you again

OMG DUDE. BE HAPPY THIS IS MOST LIKELY AN ACCEPTANCE. I highly doubt they would call you to tell you that they rejected or waitlisted. Expect a letter or another phone call tomorrow. Also I think you can check your status online somewhere.

Congratz btw!

¡Felicidades!

Yup. They definitely call at random times (i.e. nights and weekends). They will call back! I missed mine and then played phone tag for a day or two. You're in!!! Congrats!!!

 

[mybubbles14]

friend of mine got a pretty late call from them too except I think they left a message...but sounds like an acceptance to me! congrats if it is 👍

 

[J ROD]

I would call them back in the morning just to satisfy my having to know now!!

But, it sounds like an acceptance as the others have said above....some schools may call at night because they assume you may be home and not at work or school.

Most school dont call to tell you that you are rejected or waitlisted....👍

Congrats.

You are going to be a doctor!👍

 

[rockaction]

The phone call is the classiest way to find out! Good job 👍

They were probably just calling to make sure your number was in service.

 

[schrizto]

lol, what a nice way to find out without hearing the words from them yet...

So... I just called them today.

They were like... well, the committee did just meet on your application last night, but I don't see why we would have called you. You were put on the waiting list, and the letter is going out in the mail today.

Who the hell calls and goes like "Hey, just wanted to let you know that you got waitlisted.."

I think someone is confused. I can only wish its the person on the phone... and my letter somehow says accept...

Now I wish even moreso that I would have picked up =|

no way.

wtf?

 

[He2]

dude....that sounds awful. I'm sorry man.

 

[Spiker]

So the letter tell you that you got accepted? and then the person you called told you that you got wait listed? I guess I would call again and make sure? Now imagine that you didnt get a letter but actually got accepted and dont know...that would suck big time.

I am sorry. This is probably even worse considering everyone was telling you that you are more than likely accepted if they call you that late to tell you something.
Keep your chin up and who knows, maybe the person on the phone was confused. We are all human.

No, I didn't get a letter yet.

They said the letter got put in the mail today.

I'm thinking either the guy last night made a mistake, or the lady this morning made a mistake. In any case, I guess the letter will be the final verdict.

Damn, what a DBAG SCHOOL.

School- Hey it's _____ medical school sorry we called so late but we have some news on your application

Applicant- Sweet **** it's 8 pm, what school calls to say hey sorry!(in head)

School- your on the waitlist

Applicant- **** you and good night

 

[rockymhs]

Keep your fingers crossed.

I don't see a reason for a school to call an applicant up to tell him that he is waitlisted.

You will probably have letter of acceptance in few days...let's hope!
