hey, I am not sure if this is an appropriate place for this question, but I heard that some people get their acceptance over the phone. If that happens who is it usually? your POI? secretary? Program director? when I checked the result page, I saw some got accepted over the phone last friday (which is when admissions committee met), but I have not heard anything back yet... So, i wasn't sure if it was a departmental thing they called everyone or if it's just a professor who's so interested in that student wanted to tell him/her asap.
