When you get invited for the interview, does the status of the application still show "Submitted?" or does it get replaced with something else?
Thanks
Good question - there's been a lot of confusion about that. Mappleby can probably speak more to the process of previous years, but this year they don't seem to be utilizing the status as they did before. If I "log in to my application," it still shows "submitted" under the Status column. If I click on my application itself ("2013 August Early Decision Full-Time MBA"), then I'm brought to a separate page that shows, among other things, any recent status updates. If you haven't yet received an interview request, I'm not sure if you'll see anything on this page aside from your submission date and green checkmarks indicating that your recommendations, transcript, etc. have been received. Once you get an invitation, you'll see a "View Update" link that will allow you to search for interviewers and so on.
I guess that in previous cycles, the Status column would update from Submitted-->Invited to Interview-->Final Decision, but that's not the case this year, at least not that I've seen.
