1. You should call the other programs and ask for the status of your application. It certainly wouldn't hurt and you never know what happens since many are cancelling their interviews.
2. Do not rank a program if you are unwilling to go there. Otherwise you might just get matched to that place. Unless of course you would be willing to spend a year there and try to transfer next year. As far as your chances being good enough, only you can answer that. Your 90/83 and research experience are all you mentioned as far as your credentials.. but even if you scored 99/99 people here still wouldn't be able to tell you if your chances are good enough, since we don't know how your interview went.. if you had poor interviews or have trouble speaking english, then you may not even be ranked.. understand?
the last thing you have to ask yourself: would you rather scramble?

It certainly does sound like you had a great interview with that top choice of yours..i don't believe that doctor would intentionally mislead you.. as far as not getting a response from your thank you letter, don't expect it..at my top choice i sent 4 letters, one for each of the docs, and one for the program coordinator..i only received a response from the coordinator, and it was the only one important..an offer.. and as far as calling that personal number, go right ahead and do it..the doctor gave your the number after all, you might as well use it..express that you plan on ranking them number 1.. and make sure they know you really mean it. SCRAMBLE is the period during when unmatched applicants attempt to contact programs that are not filled.

Sorry, in the middle of making a rank order list for the program and didn't check in this morning.
Call the programs - what can it hurt - some might be doing late interviews.
Call the number that the program director gave you - maybe she meant to go back later and answer your email and it slipped her mind.
Good luck!!
p.s. Only put a program on the list if you are going to be happy there!!!
