I'm in the same situation; I'd be curious to know what you hear if you do decide to call. Congratulations on your other offer(s)!

Hi, everyone, New poster here. I’ve lurked on this forum for quite awhile; thank you for sharing your wisdom and creating such a supportive community. This application process has been real. I think I sprouted a dozen new grey hairs. Quick and somewhat silly question: I was accepted to my top choice a few weeks ago and have since received lovely emails-- quite out of the blue, with no previous contact--from all of my POIs about chatting via phone/meeting on visit day and wanting to advise me. How routine is this? This is my only acceptance so far, so I have nothing to compare it to. I’m trying to figure out if these are extra attentive folks or if this is more or less standard. I’d like to think this bodes well for mentorship/the character of the academic community, but perhaps I’m being too credulous. Thanks, and best of luck to everyone; we’re almost home free!
