I would guess that you are with one of the larger firms, who have an incredibly high number of meetings booked each day and perhaps lack a little in the area of customer service. That said, it is not right that they did not call you with the outcome, as technically you are supposed to attend the meeting and would therefore have known there and then.
I suggest that you give them a call and enquire why they did not afford you the courtesty of a phone call, about this very important commitment you are about to make, which will affect your life for the next five years.
