Reaching out to schools?

Outside of my interviews (which I think all went fairly well), I haven’t emailed or called to reach out to the schools I’m applying to. Is this an issue? Will it effect my chances of admission at all? A few days ago I was on a Hotchkiss virtual event call and the AO said something to the effect of “it’s been great getting to know so many of you through this process, and we look forward to reading your applications”. I took this comment as indicting that people have been a lot more proactive reaching out to admissions offices than I have. Friday I tried calling the admissions office of two schools to ask questions regarding my application, but no one picked up the phone at either. Should I email the admissions offices with a random question or something, or does it not matter?
