Interesting. I never thought of that. Once Booth sent me my interviewer's name and contact information I do not recall anything requiring me to confirm the interview date w/ Booth so that they can follow up. I haven't heard about anyone having an issue with their interviewer NOT submitting the feedback in time so maybe Booth has its own system in place behind the scenes to avoid any such mishaps.

I want to provide my insight into sooner vs. later. It's only my opinion, so bear with me.
Booth's process is very transparent and there was an article about it on Poets and Quants. Two people read your file and both have to agree. If one doesn't, than the file goes through a third person to decide.
Therefore, IMO, the people who receive the invites in the later days are the ones who needed to be further evaluated.
With that said, I have heard NUMEROUS cases in which the candidates who needed to be 'further' evaluated ended up being very interesting to the adcom post interview and even got in with scholarships. Whereas, some candidates that seemed to have no red flags ended up coming flat and getting dinged.
So in the end, you never know. I just don't think the interview invite process is 100% random.

MPG - I think this is a highly likely scenario and my anecdotal/personal evidence supports it. Though I would probably switch your "red flags" comment to "fit"
My profile is a less clear match for Booth than it is for the other schools I have applied to. In those other cases, I received my interview invites very quickly, whereas for Booth I had to wait until the bitter end. I think it's likely that I needed the third evaluator.
In any case, best of luck to those who are yet to interview, and for those waiting - HANG ON - it's so close now.
