is it worth calling programs and telling them that i am interested in your program .....
i heard people get interviews that way
what do we say when we call

i called a few they almost shouted at me over the phone

u are just irritating selection committee. imagine 1000 applicants start calling them what will happen. i would suggest refrain from any email or phone calls. if they will like ur application, they will call u mail u. so dont worry.

After all it is not a good idea calling then and it is not a bad idea either. I know a person who got 2 interviews just by calling last year ( i know this cause I was right there when he called) . Well he did that in december I guess.. maybe you stand a chance at that time cause some people just do not attend the interview and they have some slots.... just by chance and if u call at the right moment they might just invite youu...

U gotta be lucky thoughh.. hey but dont call noww.... they are crammed up and this is just not the right time to calll...

Try December and January ...
