Whew! Trying to catch my breath here. Congratulations!!!! to everyone who has heard good news. I hope to see you all at at least one of the events coming up...

For those of you still waiting: listen up. There is still hope. I did a little sleuthing for y'all and grilled my admissions lady (who was super-nice, by the way). As of about an hour ago, she said she was only about halfway done with calling people.

At the risk of giving you too much information, she said she started out this morning with the parts of Asia she felt she could call before bedtime. After doing that, she started calling names off her spreadsheet in reverse alphabetical order. Then after a little while she started calling names in actual alphabetical order from the top. (Note that she did not tell me whether admits were ordered alphabetically by first name or last name, so this still fundamentally gives you no information.) And now she says she's calling pretty randomly.

She hasn't called Australia yet.

There are five or six other people also making calls... imagine how they must all have their own crazy systems! Don't give up yet.

I pray to God that you are right and that this person is the one that is calling me (fingers crossed) -- my last name is right smack in the middle of the alphabet.

I am in with $$ - yay! Got the call at 10:15am PST (I'm in Portland, OR) from a 773 area code.

I was in the middle of explaining something to a co-worker and I heard my phone ring so I grabbed it and ran to the nearest conference room. Thankfully, she knew I was waiting to hear, so she wasn't too confused. :)

No, there is no change. They specifically mentioned that there would be no status change in the application system until tomorrow.

Right here. Last name starts with "K" . . . though I do have to say I'm not feeling at all optimistic at this point.
