Congrats to the new admits! I have two quick questions:
(a) Did the status on the SC still say "under review" when you got the call?
(b) I am currently abroad so I cannot receive a phone call if I were to get one. Does anyone know when the e-mail notification goes out as a follow-up?

I appreciate it!

a) Yes, but it changed a few hours later to "offer of admission."
b) A little over 24 hrs later in the 1/9 wave.

Wow, I was just writing the same post. Also out of range for the phone number I listed on my applications, so I would like to know the answer to this question.
