<p>I requested an interview from the University of Chicago a few days ago and today got an email from an alum saying that I should call him to schedule an interview. He left his cell number. Is it appropriate to call him on the weekend or should I wait until Monday?</p>
<p>I think you could call him on the weekend, as long as it is at a reasonable hour -- say after 9am or before 9pm. He did give you his cell phone number, after all. If he is a relatively recent graduate he might not have a home land line. I know my nephew who graduated 5 or 6 years ago has never had a land line -- only a cell phone.</p>
