Did anyone interview with Jennifer Hayes in the AdCom and receive a call from her yet?

Also, are all the calls coming from the officer with whom people interviewed? Or are they coming from other folks within the admissions staff?

I interviewed with an alum so my call came from an adcom member I have not met.

Same day but late. WL started going out at 7:30 and dings later. Looks like I've got a while to wait for bad news.

Got a voicemail from a Kellogg AdComm member about 2 hrs ago (I'm in midwest) saying that she wanted to give me some news and that she would call back in 1 hr. I never received the callback - should I try to call her back or just hope for the best?

Got the call about an hour ago! I missed it and called back, and the dean answered. They offered me $$ too which was totally unexpected. I am thrilled!!

Chicago applicant, 27, female

So excited. Good luck everybody, this is the most stressful day.
