I know the sample size is small and all, but heck this isn't work or a school project, so I'm going to go on a limb here and say it seems like they are going alphabetically. This sucks because both my first and last names are about as far from the beginning of the alphabet as possible. Come on Kellogg, call me quickly, do not be an alphabeticist!

seems like they have reached last names starting with "D"

I know it's way too soon, but am I the only one feeling increasingly despondent about my chances at getting an admit, especially now that calls are coming? This wait is killing me.

Last year were the calls spread out over multiple days?

I really don't think so. My guess is they just have a group of US admits and international admits and the calls are random. (hopefully I'm right because my name starts with an A and my last name with a B!)
