when they call to accept/reject/waitlist you, what time of the day is usually? also, do they leave a voicemail if you dont pick up, or do they leave it up to you to find out when the stuff comes in via mail (that would be messed up). unfortunately, i work all day and dont have time to sit next to my phone.
 
I got the acceptance call on 6/6/06 at around 4:15pm while I was at work preparing an RC/DC protein quant for a cell cycle analysis experiment.

I almost didn't pick it up because I was avoiding a call but then I saw the number and was like !#@%$!@#. I'm sure they would leave a message if you didn't pick up.
