Received admit call 0749 CST. I believe they were expecting to call me at 2049 in the evening (I live in GMT +8, 13 hours time difference). Turns out I was in the middle of a meeting, dozing off after a heavy lunch, at 1449 local time (GMT + 2).
Like many others (I believe), I was practically garbling on the phone and had to struggle to make myself understandable. Beyond delighted!
Before I forget, may I suggest all admits post their call times in CST? Or at least specify the timezone they're in. I went through way too much stress waiting for this call. Because of ambiguous information I read online, I started waiting for the call in the evening of 24th March (CST).
Woke up at approximately midnight CST and started fretting over the silent phone. Thought I had missed it since some other posts said they called asian applicants on the 24th March. Before eventual ecstasy.
