Has anyone received an A through a portal update, but not the call yet? Some have already reported their portal being updated, and it seems reasonable that all accepted people, regardless of call status, would have received a portal update. It seems unfeasible for the adcom team to be individually updating portals based on after the interviewers are done calling, given that they will be calling at radically different times in the day.

I haven't read anyone that found out through the portal update. So either they are updating them individually, or they have already called everyone (unlikely).

I feel like it’s such a hassle to manually update portals after each call, but if that’s what they’re doing, then so be it?
 
There's already a GroupMe created. I'll keep updating here with the numbers as people join, if it helps.

Currently, it seems like there are 8 students (5 likely to be MD/PhD as they joined Nov/Dec/Jan, and 3 MD who joined today). [Admins are marked as such, so factored those out.]

What is the deal with interviewers calling? Is the assumption that each interviewer gets a certain number of their students accepted? And that it's unlikely/not possible that multiple students from the same interviewer would be accepted?

The idea is that if you were accepted, theoretically your interviewer would call all their accepts around the same time when they were free during the day. Hence, doom and gloom may await if your interviewer called others but not you

Have there been cases where the interviewer staggers their invites? Doesn’t seem like it Tbh.
