Lev Bronstein Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I had a missed call from a private number and no voicemail. Any other week, I wouldn't think anything of it. Would a school leave a voicemail, or at least call without blocking the number?
socialpsych Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I've had two school-related calls leave voicemails. I have actually been advised to avoid picking up the phone when it's an unknown/out-of-area number--so they better leave voicemails!!
Tritonetelephone Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 No voicemail and especially, unknown number = most likely wasn't a school.

One of my schools called from an unknown number, and I know profs around here register as "unknown number" from their office phones.

I've had a couple wrong numbers recently that were really disappointing for me. But I agree, I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to talk to someone telling you that you've been accepted.

In my field this is interview season...so if you let them leave a message, it gives you a chance to prepare before you get back to them.
