you spoke to your disciplinary or in general?
I actually called to ask about official transcripts as other institutions have asked me to send them, and I’m pretty sure I did not state my discipline. Their response was that they do not need official transcripts until they offer an official invitation, and that they “are just now finalizing the application review process”.
I am inferring that new genres, because it is such a small program, was able to sift through applicants and interviews at a much faster pace than the rest of the larger departments.

Hi y’all, Bubby here!
this has been really helpful throughout this experience and I figured I’d post some updates on my application status and announcement dates for the people who are looking into this next year. I applied to three schools for painting:
Yale:
received letter of invitation for interview (1/28) although other departments heard back later. It got back to me over email in the form of an update on my application status.
interviews are scheduled for 1/17-1/21
currently waiting on result
Bard:
received letter of invitation for interview (2/11) and I believe all departments found out on same day. It got back to me over email in the form of an update to my application status.
interviews are held 3/7. You basically fill out a form to confirm your attendance and they come up with a time and let you know (2/19)
UCLA: as of yet, I have heard nothing. If anyone’s heard anything about this, aside from the new genres announcement a few weeks back, do let me know!
Anyway that’s it for me so far, thanks again to everyone for all the contributions and solidarity.

Hi Cubby, I’m Bubby!
I think the best thing to do is email, or less abrasively call in and ask anonymously using an app like Rebtel.
Hope this works out and good luck on Penn!

I am going to be abroad with no cell service for the next month and I am wondering if I need to be worried about missing calls. Is it a good idea to email the schools I applied to and let them know that I can't be reached by phone? Would really appreciate any advice!

Right, I was mentioning new genres because it’s the only discipline that seems to have conducted interviews as of yet. As far as I know. I meant that maybe they moved faster than other disciplines which are still reviewing applicants and have yet to ask for transcripts.
The person at the office did not specify whether any admission offers had been made, but unless anyone has any further information it seems like situation where we just wait.
good luck!
