It seems mighty quiet across the boards today as compared to EA and R1.

It probably would be between a 100 and a 150 (i would think closer to the 150 factoring in the yield).

Would it be correct to assume that successful applicants based in the US should all receive a call today?

I suppose it varies a little between the super-excited-crying and the super-cool-and-professional folks, but I'd say 2 mins average... Mine was about that long.

I was called the day of the deadline. Only the adcom can speak about this round, but most of the future classmates I've met were called on the deadline day.

At least, I would think it might even be closer to 200 based on approximately 500 admitted students and with this being the heaviest round...

I doubt they are calling all admits today. Seems highly unlikely, particularly because of the call volume...I guess the 'D' day is tomorrow...

They didn't call all the admits in one day during November round and I remember someone saying that the January round is the largest. I'd think the calls will last two days.

Thanks estreet. Still have a glimmer of hope. Rather interesting that they dont call everyone on the same day (especially since each call last only a couple of minutes).

I made that assumption in the EA round, and was very happily proven wrong when I got my phonecall on the deadline day at around noon....so don't lose hope!

If I recall correctly, there were quite a few calls (US and international) on the day of the deadline.

Good Luck!!

It is rumored in chat that on a Facebook that 170 have already paid their deposits so they will accept 160 ppl at most and if prorated on yield 50% it will be around 80ppl = 170+80 =250

i would venture to say that that is false...how would anyone other than people in the bursars office know that stat unless everyone in the FB group has submitted their deposits and I know 4 of whom have not.
