Dont think this trend is being repeated, we have already seen a lot of dings in the first two days

Didn't realize there had been that many. What are the numbers of dings and admits so far? Also, to someone else who asked. I think they don't make calls in the morning because they are busy deciding on the next batch of applications.

Just my perception going by people commenting on this forum, havent counted but this info would be there on the first page of this forum , I cant access it at work IT blocks a shared excel sheet

I wonder if all the ding emails get sent at ~9am local central time or local time? Meaning...I'm in CA. Should I sh*t myself if I get an email at 9am PST... or I wonder if I'm safe for today?

Either way...I can't get ANYTHING done at work!

Thanks - I didn't realize the spreadsheet was updated already.

By my count there have been 18 admits and 9 dings (6 of which were today).

The emails seem to go out at the same time but the online application (for dings/waitlists) may get updated sometime during the night (3:00 am Eastern, based on R1 posts).

I believe the call is first - at least it was for me. I received a call, and was told that I would then receive an email, status update, and material in the mail within a few weeks.

The game is rigged, after some time the more safe days you have the more is the probability to get dinged!
