Never.

Most adcomms work 20-23 hours per day. It's like accountants working during tax season. Roughly 30% of admissions phone calls are made during the middle of the night.

I remember reading a book about teachers who slept under their school desks as a kid. And I believe everything I read.

I got an email from Ole Miss at 8:50 last night and thinking it was automated I replied back for them to read in the morning. I then got the reply at 9:12 answering my question. True story; I was shocked!
