From last year’s thread, it seems acceptance calls started coming on Wed and emails came on Fri. If we go by that, some people may get calls on 3/11.

It really depends on your interviewer though. Some may not even call.

Did anyone have JO? My interview was kinda short, and I noticed someone from last year had mentioned the same. No idea if they got in though

I had JO and got accepted in December. They ended up calling me after the acceptance email came out.

My interview was only 30 minutes, but I think it was because of the Zoom meeting’s time limit. We literally got cut off mid-conversation, so I wouldn’t worry about it being short.

please can we avoid the stress and chaos of asking for interviewer initials
I agree. I'm fine with people letting know they got accepted via phone call (or email) -- it's obviously exciting and sharing this lets everyone know what's happening. But the "Just got the call!! MM interviewer" and "JW anyone??" and the "Anyone heard from JE??!" is just...not it.
My opinion though, y'all do what you want.

The portal isn’t supposed to update until tomorrow, right? My interviewer called the Dec decisions people after the official emails went out, so not expecting to hear from them today in the miraculous event that I get accepted

For me back in December the portal didn't update until Saturday after emails came out

Yeah thats what I was also wondering ngl, from an AI overview (which I know isn't the most accurate), i found that it was roughly 300 people on the waitlist and only around 12-15 people being admitted off the waitlist. Do we know anything about if the waitlist is ranked or nah?
