According to Rose Martinelli's blog, "... And on December 16th we’ll be ready to announce decisions. Of course, in Chicago tradition we’ll make every effort to call each and every admit personally to welcome you to the community we’re so proud of. " Usually the calls are made the day before they announce decisions, this year being December 15th. On other forums I have read about candidates not receiving the call but being admitted; however, there are only a few cases like that. I am also on the same boat ... waiting anxiously.
