I submitted mine on 8/16. Still have not heard anything. I'm anxious as well, but trying to keep in mind that there were holidays in the States.

Applied: late May
Accepted: late June

The interview invite came about two weeks after I applied. I interviewed a few days after the invite and was accepted a couple weeks later. I was a re-applicant this year. Last year I was denied without an interview. Last year when I applied, I wasn't myself. This year when I applied, I really let my goals and personal vision for my future shine through. Getting rejected from a target program isn't necessarily failure, but giving up is.

I hope this inspires some of the re-applicants and people who may get rejected in the future.

I got the call today. From an unknown number which I couldn't even answer properly because I was in an elevator. Got an email shortly after asking me to call back.

My timeline:

Submit - July 29
Interview Invite - August 20
Interview - August 28
Interview feedback submission - September 8
Acceptance - September 15

Little about me:
770 GMAT 50Q 45V 7IR 5AWA
Undergrad GPA is 7.75/9 which roughly converts to a 3.65/3.7 on the 4.0 scale (according to law school admissions)
Law school GPA is much lower, Bs across the board
38 months of work experience at matriculation, I work at a federal department dealing with copyright legislation and policy. Future career goals include working at a music tech startup like Spotify.

Just out of curiosity, was that ED?

You should be proud! Now it is time to relax.

To think what you could have done if you didn't have such a **** score!
