Update on how the interview invites will be released from the Booth Insider blog
https://blogs.chicagobooth.edu/blog/Booth_Insider/Interview_Invitations_Coming_Soon/boothinsider/135?nav=entry

Quote:
Interview Invitations Coming Soon

So far in Round One, we continue to be impressed by the talented candidates who apply to Chicago Booth. As we speak, we are in the process of reviewing your applications and preparing to release interview invitations. We hope you are as eager to meet us as we are to meet you!

Starting on Monday, October 28, and continuing daily until Friday, November 1, we will begin to gradually release admissions interview decisions to Round One applicants. You can expect to receive an email letting you know that there is an update to your application status sometime that week. The message will prompt you to log into the online application system to see whether or not you have been invited to interview. Those invited will receive all pertinent information related to setting up and preparing for interviews. It’s important to note that the order of how we will release decisions from Monday through Friday is random and not indicative of your admissions decision, geography or initial application date.

When setting up your interview, you will have the opportunity to choose a time slot and location that works best for you from among a list of options:

1) on campus with a second-year Admissions Fellow
2) off campus at one of our interview locations (London, Shanghai, and Sao Paulo) by an alumnus or Admissions staff member
3) with a local alumnus/alumna in your city in the event you cannot travel to a Booth location

Stay tuned to this Insider blog for more about interview location options, interview tips, and what the committee will be looking for from your interview.

Best wishes!
Amy

Out of curiosity, do any current or former Boothies (or anyone else) know why interview decisions are released throughout the whole week and not on one day?


Edit: it looks like last year they sent them all on one day, so maybe this is a new thing.

When I applied the interview invite window was about 3 weeks long. There were a lot of nervous paranoid people hanging around GMATClub for those weeks. So if it's just one week this year that's still a shorter period of time to have to sweat it out.

Best of luck to you all!

This is a major shift from last year.
Last year they released all mid-decisions same time same date to the entire round.
I think they got more apps then they anticipated, since they published 28 as the date for months now, and now its a week long thing.

Either they haven't sent out any invites today or they've managed to not send any to GMAT Clubbers. I'm guessing it's the former.

It's only 1.18pm in Chicago - they will most likely release the first waive during the afternoon :)

All interview invites are released 9:00am CST. From the application submission email:

"Mid-Decision

All applicants will receive an update to their application by the last day of the respective week. The update will either be an invitation to interview or denied without an interview. We will release decisions via our online application system at 9:00 am. Completing an invitation is required for admission. Receiving an invitation to interview indicates that the Admissions Committee believes an interview will help us further evaluate your candidacy and fit with Chicago Booth. However, please note that completing an interview does not guarantee admission."

do other people see this on their "Application Status" site? or does this mean I am waitlisted?

"Portfolio:
Video submission is restricted to waitlisted candidates only."

I just checked the website since a lot of people seem to be finding out that way quicker than waiting for emails.

I also have that JYC. I noticed that right after I submitted. So I believe it is there for everyone. I may be wrong though...
