I received a personal voicemail from a professor at one of my top choice programs followed by an e-mail from him telling me that I'd be receiving an offer of admission. Is there any chance that this means this professor wants to be my adviser?:huh:

It is definitely someone I've heard of, and their work is somewhat similar to mine. I don't know who actually sits on the adcomm though.

Well, it is possible then that this person had a spot/funding for a grad student over your other preferred choice.

May be this prof was assigned to you as a first-year advisor. This advisor stuff is different in every program so it can be that - or something else. Better ask them to be sure :)

Sometimes a certain person on the adcom is tasked with informing acceptees, sometimes it's split up between the committee members, and sometimes your stated POI contacts you independently. I wouldn't read *too* much into it, just respond with thanks!
