I would probably leave just the area code. Don't want Dean Tom's number floating around.

Seems like not a lot of activity today. Hoping this means lots of acceptance calls tomorrow...

Don't do that, it's still quite early PST for today and after today there's tomorrow (and so on and so forth). Positivity!

Uh..................I was on a conference call at work, and my cell started ringing. Tried to dig out the phone, missed the call, and then subsequently flipped out when I realized it was a 510 area code. Called back, got Dean Tom's voice mail. I left him a semi-awkward message (being that I obviously know who he is) saying "Um... Hi Dean Tom, sorry I missed your call, but you can call me back!" Does this mean thumbs up?!

I want to celebrate so badly but I think I need some form of confirmation.

I would take it as a strong indicator that you're in, but maybe remain just super optimistic until you have confirmation.

Thanks everyone!! I'm super stoked, bc this was my LAST hope. It's been 8 rejections straight . . . (and i only applied to 9). It's been pretty demoralizing.

I'm not a traditional URM - just from a different employment background.

edit: Oh, and he didn't specifically say anything about releasing decisions early. he did mention that my acceptance from my faculty reviewers "came in this morning."
