If we are to get invited, do you think it makes a difference whether we interview on campus or off? I'm within 6 hours of Chicago driving, but already visited campus and sat in on a class. Obviously, interviewing with an alum in my city would be easier, but I would go to Chicago if it would be better for my application...
Thoughts?
Interviewing on campus or off campus doesn't make a bit of difference, especially if you've already visited. Last year I visited in November and interviewed off campus with an alum in February.
There isn't any trick to this. Since both options are available both give you an equal shot at admission (or rejection). Booth does recommend interviewing on campus if you have yet to visit, but that's so you can do the campus visit program in conjunction with the interview. Visiting the school is for your benefit, not Booth's. If you already visited then there's no need to make an additional trip here unless you just can't get enough of the free beer and appetizers at LPF.

Thanks! Is there a specific time at which they will release all the decisions? (a.k.a. time we should start refreshing the updates)
Didn't Booth send a communication stating that interview decisions would be released on 10/31 @ 9 a.m. CST? That's when I assume the emails will go out. I am sure people will start checking their statuses before then to see if they can find something out prior to the email release.
