<p>I very much doubt that calling the admissions office will allow anyone to find the right time that they released. There is a reason they say “by Dec 15th”. It is partially most likely a surprise element in there, as well as trying to compete with Harvard’s and possibly other Northeast school’s releases, as well as having a little bit of buffer time in case something goes wrong, they have a few days to send them all out before their official deadline. Since they don’t give an official release time and day, why would talking on the phone be an allowed method to give out that information?</p>
<p>It would shock me if they really were planning to send that many emails in the evening of Pacific time, especially as the west coast is behind many of the applicants’ time zones. </p>
