I am almost positive I saw the December 15 date online earlier, along with Feb 15 as well. Now it only says mid-december. So maybe a day or two behind since today was a Monday? But I doubt they'll go too late in the week because while for some it will be great, why ruin a weekend for someone, especially just before Christmas. So this is likely some sort of dance of timing... maybe they had a meeting today to give lists of phone calls to make divided among the group - or interviewers (depending on who typically makes the call). But I am also sure that when you are doing a wave that is likely to involve nearly 3000 people (half of the applicants), they'd want to make sure they had it right. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/13/e...ordham-youre-not-accepted-after-all.html?_r=0
Congrats!!!!! So cool! Not really expecting to hear today tbh but I have my phone next to me just in case!
+1!!!!!!!
Ugh just as I was about to check my portal.
Now the wait begins.
And If your last name is early or late in the alphabet? (Seriously)

Details Details people. Who called, what was said..... ?? And if you're called, might you ask if all calls are being made today??
Ah! Missed call from 6153430473 at 10:20AM! When I tried to call back, it was an automated message saying it was just for the medical center and that I needed to specify who I wanted to reach if I talked to an operator. Would it be bad to call the admissions office?
Call admissions. When did you interview?
November 17th (so wasn't sure I would get a response until February?).
Early October
Are y'alls last name early on in the alphabet
Pretty close to the middle.
+1 Noooooo!! I just missed picking up the phone. Did you call admissions?
Was just thinking about whether I should when they called me again!
Did your interviewers call you?
I interviewed end of October, last name is in the first quarter of the alphabet. I was called by a doctor I didn't meet on my interview day. She said congrats, that I can go on the portal tomorrow to accept, and about second look weekend. Congrats to everyone else who has gotten in so far, and good luck to the rest of you!!
can anyone copy the URL for the secondary portal? I accidentally deleted it and can't find my old e-mails that have it 😕

Accepted just now! Sprinted out of a meeting at the office when I saw the 615 area code...calls are definitely still going out so just be patient!
For people who got the call, did they also mention scholarship?
It seems they did for @soccerusa , but no one else has mentioned it. I don't really think I'm qualified to be in contention, so I wasn't surprised not to be told. Maybe they're offering a small amount now and will offer more as the cycle moves forward?
They said when I interviewed that 75% of their students have the 75% tuition scholarship so I was curious
Just got the call!! So excited!
For those curious, there was no mention of scholarship.

They told me to log into my portal tomorrow to accept, so I think you can just check yours tomorrow?
Just got the call! Looks like I'll be back in Nashville for second look to get the hot chicken I never got to try and other bbq. Congrats to all.
Just got the call with a 75% tuition scholarship!
IN WITH A 75% SCHOLARSHIP!!!! Yayyyy and I bombed my interview too!
I JUST GOT THE CALL! AHH.
My pet theory for those still waiting on the west coast (or hawaii): they call after 10am so that you're awake. I got the call at 10:04!

Does anyone know if there was no mention of scholarship in the phone call, there is no chance of merit money later?
Did they give you a number to call back? or did you just call admissions?
Nope. Just called twice. When I try to call the number back it goes to an automated system that says the call could have come from anywhere at the medical center.
