<p>Is it better to email or call? Should you just say that you want to have an interview and then wait for a response? Or should you say when you are available? Would the interviewer every say "how about today/tomorrow?" instead of giving more notice?</p>
<p>I don't know, but it's odd because I just e-mailed my guy(like literllay a second ago) for the second time after having given him ample time to respond to my first e-mail.</p>
<p>It said if the email is not responded to then call. I emailed saying I want to schedule an interview and he gave me more than a weeks notice.</p>
<p>u guys finished ur applications already?</p>
<p>It varies with the EC, but at this time of year a lot of EC's still go on vacation. If you don't get a response within a week, there is every possibility that the EC just isn't there.</p>
<p>I was just given my EC's home phone number, and I called and left a message and he called back saying he'll be on vacation.</p>
<p>Don't sweat it too much, it's not like they're not expecting applicants to contact them.</p>
<p>Email first, give it a week and a half, then call. Honestly, your email can just be something like "Hi, my name is Awesome Dude, and I'll be applying to MIT this fall. I was given your contact information by MIT, and was wondering if you'd be available to set up an interview in the near future. Please just let me know when you're available, and I'll work around my schedule to find a time that works best for the both of us. Thanks, Awesome Dude."</p>
<p>You get the point. I remember agonizing over this email and how to word it, but please realize that it really isn't going to hugely matter in the end. Just don't be like "Yo dude, this yo man Diggidy." That would be bad.</p>
<p>yeah, i don't think i contacted my EC until early october and everything still worked out fine. i agree with ducktape...give it some time.</p>
