LOL. I had a dream last night that I was waiting for a call from Tuck. When it got to 4 pm in my dream and I still hadn't gotten a call I started hyperventilating in my dream. Then I woke up and realized I was actually hyperventilating in real life. I hope today doesn't turn out the same way as my dream.

So no US calls yet today?

haha glad i'm not the only one who can't work today. i'm hoping there's at least a slight correlation between resident time zone and calls received. you gotta figure they'll catch remaining internationals before they go to sleep and wouldn't call the west coast before they wake up. i'm on the east coast so hurry up with the international calls!!!

One thing I wonder about is how many people they have and how many calls they have to make each. Are they accepting ~200 people today? Are there 3-5 adcoms making phone calls? How long is each call?

If each call takes 10 minutes or less, they could call 200 people in less than a day, and they already began making calls to admits yesterday, maybe the rest are slated for the afternoon?

As much as possible, take all the calls and lack thereof in stride. During EA, a lot of people thought the calls were done at 10 am EST because there was a lull on the message board, but really, it's just that one AdCom member finished their list, and no one else had started. There is no rhyme or reason to how they make calls. Likely, each AdCom member has a list of names that they plan to call. Equally likely is that they each have their own schedule and will have their own window(s) to make these calls. They will likely continue up til (and after) the 5 pm notification time, so no point in losing hope until then.
