I called last night to give an update on my status (promotion at work), and i heard that my 'app was on the Dean's desk' after they looked me up in the system. I went 'complete' last Wednesday night following an interview around Nov. 22. I guess that means that they are actively working through the ED decisions.

Have any of the deferred ED applicants received an update? Seems that they will begin the process of "re-considering" us soon if they are already inviting RD applicants to interview.

Nope. Am on pins and needles...metaphorically of course.

How many ED guys are out there waiting to hear final decision after interview?

Wait is DRIVING ME ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

still waiting for an interview call bro.... :-D

same here...nothing to do but wait. Do you think they are just waiting to release rejections or are they still actively considering interview invites?

ED applicants without an interview (or ding) yet are likely in the 'maybe' category. If an RD applicant of similar profile (or diversity quotient) seems stronger, then its probably a ding/waitlist by month end (12 weeks from submission), else an invite. No expert here, just my $0.02

I agree. I believe the few last hopefuls at the bottom of the ED barrel might be compared to the general RD lot. If yes, then those who are still awaiting interview calls are probably at the "minimum qualifications required to be interesting" level among ED candidates

.

Edit: by the way, I didn't mean to offend anybody.

What you hypothesized was quite reasonable

I like your summarization of "minimum qualifications required to be interesting":)

I just want to share a story of mine long time ago. When I applied for graduate school (H/Y/P) a few years ago, my classmate received an offer in January from my dream school. We all knew that each year this school recruited ONE student from my major, so I felt hopeless since the day I heard her offer. One month later, I got my offer with a distinguished fellowship, which paid more stipend than the one of my classmate. That was the only year this school recruited two students from my college.

So, nothing is impossible

I actually had that same thought. I got my interview request on 11/18, but wasn't able to schedule an interview due to the holidays and scheduling conflicts until 12/3. I was/am worried that even though I got my interview invite 3 weeks ago that I'll be compared to the RD class b/c of how late my results have come back from the interview.

Regardless, I view the whole thing with a bit of skepticism. The adcoms are not totally blindsided by each class as they come in -- I think the types of applicants they get have quite a bit of homogeny from year-to-year, and especially from round-to-round. I don't think anyone is at any material advantage or disadvantage being compared to either just ED or ED and RD.

For those RD applicants that have gotten interview invites already, did you get it through an email or did you just happen to check your status? So happy I get to start freaking out again, if this was an every year process I'd be dead by year 3....

I got an email update on a status change, then another email for the interview instructions. The time stamp on both of those are a few hours apart and in the afternoon.

Tell me about the wait! When I got the notice that they are pushing RD reviews to December I was a little relieved but when December rolled along I got anxious again.

Has anyone on here done their Business Certificate Program? (part of continuing ed)

I did it because I have a very bad GPA (2.9) but I did really good in this program (GPA 3.9) and I wonder if it'll do me any good....the Dean at the Continuing Ed Department also offered to lobby for me. But I am not sure what his success rate is. I applied RD on 11/13 and haven't heard zip yet! :/

Good luck out there!

I'm in the same boat... kind of going nuts. Let's hope for phone calls and not emails. Cheers!

My application status reads "Your application is under review." - what does that mean? I have not tracked changes in the status for a while now. Someone, let me know.

Got the call today for ED!

Submitted: 10/5/10 11:35PM
Under Review: 10/13/10
Interview Invite: 11/12/10
Complete: 11/22/10
Accepted: 12/8/10

I did have a question for you all. What is the likelihood that adcomm will allow me to defer a year? The reason is not to apply to other schools [I would be ok with putting a large deposit down to hold my place]
