Booth 2012 - Calling All Applicants

9th Nov is the date when each candidate will know his/ her status. So I guess they'll start sending out decisions before that.. 26th Oct is the date that people are guessing Booth will start releasing emails to candidates..

It sucks tht I wasn't able to submit my app.I work for an NGO and I was out in the field with too much work and almost no access to internet. Guess I will have to wait till Jan.

I had the exact same change - quant went to 76% from 77%. I look forward to hearing what response you received.

True. That might be frustrating. From your profile I see that you're applying to Anderson as well so there's still 1 week left if you wanna give a shot..

The trend is for the quant percentiles to go down for the same score and the verbal percentiles to go up as more foreign students take the GMAT. The Economist this week had a pretty good graph showing the growth of foreign test-takers.

Has anyone seen their application status change online from submitted to "complete" or anything similar?

All I've received to date is an email saying that Chicago received payment of the application fee, but I'm curious as to whether the status will change prior to the interview decision.

Here's the response: "Please understand that the percentage you currently have is what has been verified by GMAC. However, your overall GMAT score remains the same, and we generally consider that score, among other information, in our holistic evaluation process more when evaluating for academic aptitude."

I also found this: https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/gmat-scores ... means.aspx

The percentiles definitely have been updated since I took the test earlier this year.

Nah, sadly My Q 48 has gone down 2% to 80.. V 40 still remains at 89%.

Since the data is for the last 3 years, I would say that recession has played some part this, driving more and more students to seek business education and improve their skills in order to compete in the shrinking job market..

You'll see most of these changes at the extremes. 45V was 98% a year ago, and it's 99% percentile now. So some scores' percentiles may not change.

Just finished the online chat with some students and adcom people ta Booth. So for R1 applications, we will be receiving interview invites in the next few days! Good luck to all of us!

interview invites started going out on 10/27 last year (according to GC applicants on the thread), I would assume it would be 10/26 this year in that case.

I had the same doubt so called up the admissions office and they said that the app status is 'Awaiting decision'....however it does not reflect on the main status screen...

For the current state of patience, days=years haha..

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

I submitted fairly early (3 wks ahead of the RD1 date) and I wonder if that means my app will be reviewed sooner than someone who submitted later. I hope so!

from what i was told its not even stacked in a row , theyre all reviewed on equal footing supposedly

Unfortunately, I don't think when you submitted the application impacts the timing of its review. I recall that during Booth Live someone specifically mentioned that all the applications are randomly assigned after the stated deadline and timing of review is not connected to timing of submission.

Interview notification timing is probably more related to reviewer capacity than anything else. This is just a hypothetical, but you could be in a stack of apps whose first review is completed by a student who finishes the review in 48 hours, or you could be in the stack of someone who needs 5 days to get through the same # of apps. Multiply this by 2-3x since there is more than 1 review prior to an interview decision and you can see why the actual timing of an interview notification is insignificant.

The adcom person said they will start sending out invite in a few days and the invitation process will last to Nov 9. So possible that your application will get reviewed ahead of us (btw, I submitted literally 5 mins before the deadline in a starbucks!)
