tulips Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) So I got a missed call earlier today from a number I did not recognize, but they didn't leave a message. When I looked that number up, it correlated to the number of a professor (and grad advisor) at one of the universities I applied to (and thus I began panicking and berating myself for keeping my phone on vibrate). When I tried to call back, I would just get a busy signal. Not sure what to make of this. I don't want to get my hopes up too high, especially since they didn't leave a message and because it seems too soon for decisions since their deadline was yesterday. I guess I'll just wait it out to see if they call back again tomorrow, but I'm going to be so distracted for the rest of the night!

TakeruK Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Don't call back It's super awkward to call someone and be like "Did you call me?". This is way easier said than done, but I think the best strategy is to relax and remember that if it was actually really important, they will call back, leave a message or email you. They have a lot of ways of reaching you!! tulips and rising_star 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psych face Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hey tulips, this just happened to me too. When I took a shower. I knew those things were evil. I'm going to be patient and wait it out. Official emails always follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 They'll either call you again or send you an email. Until then, just wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
