yep it said "no caller id"
Every passing second I don't get a phone call:
Aughhhghhghhh. This is the WORST way for decisions to be released!
Still, congrats to you! 🙂
By interviewer do you mean general admissions staff? I only really remember one of my interviewers in the MMI. This thread is awesome!
Congrats! I knew you'd get in despite being so negative Nancy about your MMI.
This is the best reaction video I have seen in a while and perfectly sums up the way I feel right now.
It was my MMI interviewer for one of the stations! I remembered him because we had connected about life!
I'm confused now.
Maybe they split up who calls who, I would imagine it would be too much to have one person call 100+ people so perhaps they split it up and someone started calling early?

If people are getting calls from their specific interviewers and not the general admissions staff, I think it's just the case that some of them are deciding to call tonight (or under the impression that they were supposed to call tonight) and others aren't. No call definitely doesn't already signify a rejection!
At what point to you guys think it's safe to go to bed?...
Update:
Phone calls ARE supposed to start going out today
They are updating the portal later in the week and sending emails later in the week as well.

I think it's safe to go to bed, no one's gonna be calling at 10P.

Where did you hear this information?
Then I guess maybe some people forgot to call?
OR
They're just *starting* to go out today and trickle in throughout the week?

I really hope its the latter
So here I am plucking away at my computer at work, when I get ready to take a break and check my phone and see a missed call from a mysterious number that is apparently from Durham, North Carolina. I call back to hear a distinctly Upper Midwestern voice deliver some very, very good news tailored a little bit to convince me to move to the nice, warm South. I very much appreciate the extra effort Duke and still don't really believe it.

Congratulations 🙂 would you be so kind as to share your alphabet region? I'm clinging to this... As I'm at the beginning. Lol.
Did you miss the call just now or was it earlier?

Reliable sources.
My distractions are losing their potency.
Good enough lol
I'm just wondering if it's same to leave my desk to even pee. I seem to be stuck next to my phone...
For everyone who is about to keel over from anxiety, put your phone on loud and turn on Better Call Saul!
So your reliable source said they should start going out today? Or should (all) go out today?
Honestly, I took my phone to the bathroom... I just prayed they didn't call at that moment
I think it's okay to call it a night.
I'm not sure if all the calls were supposed to be made today, I sure hope not but, in any case, it's already 10P and I doubt they'll be calling this late.
Hopefully tomorrow bares better fruits.

Wait, you don't do this anyways??
Start.
Caught me in a lie
If you pick up the phone while going to the bathroom and the caller can tell, your acceptance is automatically revoked.
Okay lovely people I am calling it a night. I hope everyone who hasn't heard today gets good news tomorrow!!
I actually did that for one of the schools and I am very shamed to say that when the phone rang I did not have the basic human decency to wait till I get out to call back and instead answered right away.
Just to be clear I did not get an interview from Duke, I'm just here because of all the exciting commotions
But the first guy said that he was one of the last interviewed. Are they working their way backwards then?
Whoops didn't catch that...well there goes that justification
I interviewed in september.
Also my interviewer (who called at 9pm eastern time) said I was his second call.

Got the call earlier today as well. Best of luck to all!
Congrats! Who Called you?

Dammit guys, I decide to be healthy and leave SDN for a couple hours, and then I come back to this????
This thread has been the most nerve-racking/amusing thing I have seen in a while. It is good to know a lot of us are in the same boat. (Congrats to all the acceptances!!)
So, when do we start stressing about phone calls for today?

Going to channel some John Burroughs today....
Serene, I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea;
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For lo! my own shall come to me.
I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face
