I was invited to interview on 2/8 and finished my interview on 2/24 and my status changed from Invited to Interview to Under Review on 2/25. It was the very next day ... fingers crossed as I interviewed very late in the game ... last Thursday

I interviewed 2/25. I'm still waiting for a change in the status. Maybe I'll give it a day and then call Admissions tomorrow.

I interviewed on 2/9 and didn't see a status change from 'Invited to interview' to 'Application under review' till 2/18.

For those of you who are concerned with the online status after interview: Nicole at the admin office said it doesn't matter. I was interviewed on 2/4 and just realized my status got changed to "under review". Not sure when. Probably happened last week.

hey guys, i got my admit call last Thursday. I interviewed just two days before (off campus), so I was surprised at the quick turnaround. Maybe it was because I applied through the Consortium. Good luck to everyone who is waiting to hear back!

Is anyone going to the admitted student event later this week? I wont have a chance to go in a couple of days but am debating if I should visit campus before the next event at the end of April since deposits are due by then...

Congrats, fahim! And all the other admits. Can you share your background and your area of emphasis?

Looks like the seats are running out. I guess if I don't hear the magic "ring" tomorrow it's either a WL or D. Any idea of routine things to do while on a WL? Can we schedule another interview on campus if I chose off-campus the first time?

I haven't posted on this particular forum before, but the wait is killing me. Interviewed on SS but nothing so far. There were around ~100 candidates on SS and nearly 40-60% of them are supposed to receive admits. I see barely 5 here. Have they sent out all admits or most of them?

I interviewed on the 2nd last day of interviews 2/24, I heard the last day for interviews were 2/25. So I am assuming a lot of decisions are still being made ... its been only 2-3 business days for a lot of us who interviewed on 2/24 or 2/25. So let's keep our fingers crossed and even toes if required ... I am sure they will make some calls today and tomorrow.

Any updates from any of the waitlisters? I know we're supposed to wait until after the March 3rd decision date, but just curious...

SS R2 candidate - heard nothing yet. Nervous as hell. One thing I noticed is that most of admitted candidates had a high GMAT scores 730+, 710. I have a GMAT of 700 and really hope they will call me soon.

Question: which phone number do they call from (just area code at least)? Had a missed call around noon eastern from some strange +42060... number (does not seem to be a US number at all).

The call comes from a 510 number. I wouldn't sweat on the 700 GMAT. You are plenty competitive

That sounds right. I don't remember the exact area code but I know it was a Cali area code...

If you take a look at the R2 numbers so far, there are 26 interviews reported on the roll call. Based on R1 results, GMATCLUB reports about 50% of interviews turned into admits, so we'd expect 13.

The roll call reports 8 admits and I believe two people have reported admits since that tally. That would mean we are about 10/13 or 75% through admit calls.

It should be a 510 number w/ a 642 or 643 prefix. Nervous as hell about the decision here too after my crap interview.

As far as I know an interview is required for admission.
