Hey everyone,
First of all, thanks for posting updates, news, and opinions. It's nice to have a resource like this to draw from.
A quick question:
I'm currently living outside the US, and my phone can't receive regular phone calls (only Whatsapp). I had no idea that some programs give acceptances by phone, and now I'm getting a little nervous. I'm fairly confident that a program would send an email after the call failed to go through, but I'm naturally imagining the worst-case scenario, in which the Iowa folks say, "Oh well, no answer again, on to the next person!"
Does anyone here have any experience with this type of situation? Anyone gotten an email after missing/not receiving a call?
I'd like to avoid emailing programs to explain the situation - somehow it seems presumptuous to say, "Hey, did you try to call with an acceptance by any chance?"
Thanks, all!
