Half of the time I keep forgetting I submitted an app with CBS. So much longer until they get around to reading it...

So I don't understand why they wouldn't roll straight from ED into RD given that submissions were done on the same date. Seems like, unless the team takes a break, at this point they would have already been reviewing RD apps for several weeks?

Too young to have ED. :lol:

I applied RD in September.

As long as people from ED are still receiving interview invites, that means they have not finished the ED pile.

Some invitations were sent out these last few days to ED folks, so I would be patient for a little more while regarding RD responses.

Is it safe to assume that today may be too late for an interview invite ?


Don't give up hope -- at least three people (international) got the invite today, and a bunch of invites came in around 2-5pm (New York time) yesterday.

Hi guys! Long-time lurker here. Just logged into my application online and saw an option to search for an interviewer with a message that I have been invited to interview, BUT I have NOT received the email yet. Not sure what that means, but worth a try checking your application online...I assume the email will come later.

Application submitted & complete date: October 7th ED

There's still hope!!

EJW213, did you eventually get an email with the invitation? Because of you I'm checking my application almost every hour looking for an update

Those of you who haven't heard from AO, what do you see on your status page?

Also in document checklist, you have only 3 ticks right - 2 for reco and 1 for transcript?

Guys .... I can only see the application submission & completion date on status along with my reference number. All the ticks are green marked. How to know when the AO reviewed my application and any latest status?

Same here, what all green ticks do you have? Recos and Transcript only, right?

There is no way to know when the application was reviewed or at what stage it is.

No there is not. Your application page will only change once you get an answer from admissions, either an invite or a ding.

Yes. There a few cases in this thread. A few example posts are below.

Dinged without interview:

There are only two Ambassadors available in my area, and one of them will not be able to interview me due to work constraints. I am crossing my fingers waiting to hear back from the other one.
