Anyone else waiting on final decision post interview? This wait is killing me. I interviewed on Friday and see they just admitted a person who interviewed on Wednesday.

Did you receive a notification that your feedback was submitted? I interviewed on Friday and have yet to receive one.

Interviewed Friday as well, no submit e-mail yet either. But, I interviewed with adcom member if it matters.

How accurate is the Applicant Summary on the first page? Where do they get the stats from?

ED application complete date was October 6 for me and have not heard anything yet. My application just says "submitted"

It is October 5th. I submitted mine on October 3rd but my LORs were not sent in until October 6th so my turn in date is October 3rd and my completion date is October 6th. I am not sure which one everyone has been going off of.

That would mean you're a Round 1 applicant, not an ED applicant. It's about the full application complete date, sadly.

Also, looking at Livewire seems like a lot of people who applied on the 4th or 5th are getting invited, interviewed and even getting offers already. Nothing in Europe yet...anyone heard anything from Europe? (UK specifically)

I didn't hear anything back yet either. I submitted my app on the 4th, but a recommender submitted the last rec on the last hour of the 5th. But there's a subtle change in my application portal today. After login, instead of taking me to the page where you click the application year, it just straight up jumps to the verification page. Nothing else changed in terms of status. Perhaps they are now processing my app...

Hi guys, I applied Early Decision on October 5th literally in the last 30 minutes that day. Has anyone who submitted that late received an interview yet?

Also, do you know how soon interviews are offered out after hitting submit? Is it 3 weeks? 4 weeks?

If you don't get an interview, do they tell you you get rejected?

They have. You are probably in a wait and compare pile.

They said standard time is 4 weeks. Those of us applying by the deadline maybe in a big pile separated by industries. Those that applied near the deadline that got invited or ding'd probably are ones with either crazy high GMAT that are competitive with other top programs or competitive industries like finance/consulting.

I'm in medical device/pharma industry so probably they are either not there with my file yet or trying to compare me to candidates from other niche markets. Could be advantage or disadvantage. We'll see lol

Rejected from Columbia. I applied 10/5.

Too bad as it was my #1 school - I've been in NYC for past 5 years - and thought I had gotten the hang of executing my application by this point.

Good luck on your other schools. Looking at clearadmit, there are ppl with 313 and 318 gre getting accepted...process is a crap shoot. Probably comes down to the essays.
