for r1 interviews will be held from november 6 to november 23. there's 2 "superdays" for interviews on campus: the 16th and the 23rd. I imagine same dates for international interviews, tho not 100% sure.

I don't remember where, but I read this too (although, I think I saw 40-50%.) I've always heard that Booth casts a wider net than other schools for interviews. I also think it's reflective of how Booth uses 2nd year students to do a first read of applications. I think that's part of the reason why it's such a quick turnaround from the application due date to interview invitations already. From what I've heard, the AdCom uses the first read of the application more to answer "do we want to meet this guy/gal? Is there something about interesting/cool/neat/etc about this person?"

As an aside, I've had a couple friends who were student readers, and I've talked with some admissions consultants who were recent members of an adcom, and I have always found the student readers' assessments to be harsher.

An update to your application was last posted October XX, 2013.

And there will be a link for you to schedule the interview.

Ugh. This wait is killing me. I hope they're not just holding back the dings for Friday.

23% is the acceptance rate (from the total applicant pool). 63% of those accepted matriculate.

Is it just me or the invites in the last three days have been far and few? Does Booth plan to offload the major bulk of invites at the last day?
