Poll: what time of day was your acceptance email sent?

[UnlikelyGrad]

What time (note: time local to the accepting university) was your acceptance email sent? I know, I'm a bit obsessive, but I'm still checking my email every five minutes well past 6 pm every day.

I've let you choose up to 5 options in case you're one of those lucky people with multiple acceptance letters.

mid-afternoon on a Sunday I got an acceptance phone call then email (same program).

got email about setting up phone interview on a Sunday ~7pm.

Good idea for a poll! Is there a way to change it so they could select two: the time of day and if it was a weekday or weekend?

I made another poll for day of the week.

On that afternoon, I had been typing the rough draft of a paper at the library...and occasionally checking my email. Around 4:45 PM I decided that a) I was feeling like a slave to computers, and I wasn't likely to hear anything grad-school-wise for a while since it was now the end of the week. So I sent the document to myself, logged off the computer, walked back to my place, and didn't go on my computer all evening. The next morning I was enjoying not being on it 24/7, so I kept it up until the evening, when I had to turn on my computer in order to do some web-design work for a student club. What did I find in my school email the second I opened it up? An acceptance letter, received by my inbox at 7:53 PM on Friday (i.e. 4:53 PM Pacific time).

I just received a phone call at 5:55 PM (4:55 in my time zone) on a Friday, inviting me to an interview/visiting weekend! I had already given up on hearing anything today around 3 PM. The faculty member even called me on her personal cell and asked me to call her back before 8 PM or on Saturday with my decision... Weird, but awesome!

Huh. Maybe they enjoy playing mind-games with aspiring grad-students.

Congrats!
