Answer 12

give them 2 days. then call every day, so they know how interested you are.  If they say "We'll call you on friday", call them on thursday and tell them "Someone told me to call back today"  Persistence will make you stand out more than the rest  

Answer 13

Give them about 2 wks, im sure they have a lot of applications and are overwhelmed .
