It's probably going to be a while. They will have to get through all of the ED applicants first, which will probably go through mid- to the end of November since Thanksgiving is in there.

wahaha04
anyone has an idea about the timeline of the regular decision pool? am just anxious here because just got several dings...

Mind providing a little background? Assuming you did ED. How many years W/E?

Wow I'm shocked they wouldn't give someone with your numbers even an interview. That's tough man but I'm sure you'll get in somewhere good with those stats. Good luck to you.

Thanks. I'm already mentally bracing for 3 more dings and gearing up to reapply next year. I actually think another year of work experience will help me a lot.

Does it mean that people applied before 4th are more or less dinged?

I don't think people who applied before the 4th are dinged. It could be certain applications are reviewed by a certain committee member, based on location/industry/ambitions/etc.

And someone is still getting through their batch of applications, even for people who applied before the 4th.

PS: I applied on the 5th, i.e. just before deadline

But that will defeat the purpose of a rolling basis. Don't know ......I hope what you are stating is indeed true.

It could also be that the ED applicants who submitted earlier than those who have already gotten invites are being held for further comparison against other candidates in similar "buckets" (industry/role/demographic), especially since I'm sure a big wave of ED applicants came in right before the deadline. My guess would be that perhaps those who have more direct competition -- because they are in over-represented buckets -- are the ones being held for compare/contrast purposes. Or maybe it has to do with alum-interview availability based on location. But it's anyone's guess, really! If you haven't gotten a ding, you're still in the game -- so keep hope alive.

What % of the overall app. is tied to the interview? I'm hoping that if they got back to me in two weeks with an invite that they are very interested. Trying to pump myself up!!

Anyone who applied the 5th hear back? I've seen people who applied the 4th get interviews but nobody on the 5th.

Congrats to all with interviews so far!! Were you notified just in the portal or did you get an email that your status had changed, or even an email that you received an interview?

Currently stalking my portal every few hours..... :oops:
