Calling All 2011 Booth Applicants!!

does this info changes as soon as one receives the mail or there is a lag between the 2?? i can't access my personal mail during office hours...but can login to booth account

I used the email from admissions@chicagobooth.edu with subject "Your Chicago Booth application status" as reference for when my application went complete.

In my case the status online changed a couple of minutes before I got the email. The pattern seems to be that both happen at 9:05 am central.

I got one as well -- 9:05 AM Chicago time. It did take an extra minute for it to make it to my cellphone, so I was disappointed for a little while. My application went complete on Oct 14th.

Add me to roll call!

Got one today. Submitted the app on 10/12, went complete on 10/16. Good luck to everyone out there...

I kept dreaming about getting interview invites last night... I guess dreams really do come true!

Seems that there is no discernible pattern between complete dates and interview invites. Keeping fingers crossed for mine. Congrats to those who got invites!

thank you guys for posting your completion date. Seeing that peeps who got an invite today but had their applications completed around the 15th makes my day happier. My was completed on the 14th and I thought I was simply doomed.

As somebody in another forum mentioned - it really depends on the speed of reading of the different admissions reviewers, even if they go by date completed. Picture this:

If there are 1000 applications in stacks of 20 at a time given out to 10 different reviewers. One reviewer may have a planned weekend, so they rush and review their stack early, another one may be busy so they keep going later into the week. Once a reviewer is done with their 20 they grab another stack, so a small bunch of people who completed later are getting reviewed slightly earlier. Either way the process is relatively random but as we can see the date completed numbers are slightly moving up.

Another factor is - the apps per date completed are probably much more in later dates than earlier. The adcom mentioned that they get about 60% of their applications in the last 24 hours of the review period. As we can see, the dates completed are moving relatively fast now, but in the next few days we will likely see those slow down. If it took 5 days to see dates go from 13 to 20 it may take a lot more to see them move from 20 to 22.

Got invited today! Very exciting day, to say the least. After hearing nothing for so long, I got invites from Booth, IESE and Stanford within 20 minutes of each other. I feel a lot better, I was really down this weekend..

Finally got my Booth interview invite today as well! Wow, that's a relief! It arrived at 9:06 am so I was initially disappointed but then happily surprised when it showed up.

What are you guys' submit and complete dates? Sorry if I missed it.

Got one too! Indian applicant submitted on the 12th, complete on the 15th

Hi...I got an invite too..Indian applicant..
@MBA2012D: Do u plan to interview on-campus? 'cos i cant see India on their off-campus location list??

It looks like the main invite day was today, not the first day. It probably makes sense since reviewers must've worked on the apps over the weekend and submitted their status on Monday, and we get the notifications today. If this hypothesis is true, the last wave should come on the 9th.

PS. I wasn't added to the roll call, can you please add me?

Hi Mandy

if you look for an interviewer in India, in the alumni search, ull find someone. I did tht. Be careful to enter your city in the search criteria alongwith the country.

Got an invite today. I was pleasantly surprised. My application went complete on the 20th, submitted on the 12th.

Hmm, I saw this instruction in red for off site interview.
