So what's the etiquette for calling med schools after interview?

[spacecadet]

Hey, I was just wondering if people generally call the med school after interviews to check status. I am desperately wanting to call Baylor to see if they sent me a letter and it got lost in the mail (ok, I'm in fantasyland, I know).

Do people often call the schools, or would I be classified as a nut for bugging them? What do I say, "Just calling to check the status of my application"? Seriously, does anyone do this?

Sorry, I have never applied before and I don't really know any other premeds.

When did you interview at Baylor? I interviewed on October 19th and 20th, and still no word.

I was told by two medical schools to call and check. In fact, I'm supposed to call University of Kentucky on Friday.....
I'm nervous! AGH!

You should absolutely call and check. No one cares more about your situation than you do, so take control of it! Just say, "Hi, I'm so and so and I sent in my application on ___ and have not heard back. Would you check to make sure my file is complete and if any action has been taken." Something like that. Best wishes!
