I've come to realize that fair number of schools still make phone calls as their primary means of extending interview invitations.

I work in what feels like a lead-lined underground mouse dungeon. Do schools usually leave a message?

Thanks!

I've never had this experience, but when I got an acceptance call, the person didn't leave a message until the second time they tried and no one answered.

If you're unsure, check the area code of the call and then look at your portals for schools in that general area that you applied to. If you were offered an invite, there should theoretically be a link to choose a date on the portal.

Mine was through phone calling. During the application season - I just returned all unknown numbers or picked up - even if it's in the middle of lecturing a class lol.

UCF I know for sure. I think UM, but I think they use email too.

SUNY Upstate for MD/PhD, but they send a packet in the mail as well. I've gotta say it makes it feel more personal and inviting.

I missed my phone call II and my voicemail is apparently not working, they immediately emailed me to call them back asap.

I got 3 phone call invitations. For the one I didn't pick up, they left a very obvious voice mail saying they wanted to talk to me about "updating my application" and also sent an email telling me to call them as soon as possible.

So I'm hoping the missed call from oklahoma wasn't one of the UC's offering me an interview.
