Do calls happen on the notification date (next Wed, 12/11), or the day before? I heard some people talking about Tuesday, but I thought they came on the notification date?

The preferred number I had indicated on the application expired. I thought that would save me a day of sitting by the phone waiting for the call to come through, and trying to figure out if he had called all the admits in my geography.

Then I started having nightmares about DB leaving a voicemail going, "We tried calling, but we couldn't get through, so we decided to give your spot to someone else."

Based on last year's thread, I just logged into the applyforyourself and my recommendors are still there, last year, everyone got the DB call found those disappeared a while before they got the call, should I deem it as bad sign? :(

You can't be serious... Though that made me login to check if my recommenders are still there lol(they are).

It's 12 midnight in Palo Alto now I'm pretty sure DB is taking a nap right now.
