Yeah I scheduled the interview and then got an email instantly.

Cool thanks. I'll give them a call just to let them know I'm not getting emails.


Would you mind posting to this thread after you make that phone call? I also received an invitation but did not receive an email; interested in learning if this is a known issue that needs to be corrected on my end.

Thank you!

It seems that about 25% of the applicants to Booth in Gmat club have received invite to interview. According to a post few years ago, around 40% would be invited to interview in first round, so it seems that there is still hope, however it is becoming narrower each day that passes - let's keep positive. Best of luck everyone. Besides, Gmat club is not as representative because Gmat range is a little bit higher, so probably a bit more than 40% will receive invite… something to think about.

When you say "scheduled," do you mean scheduling an on-campus interview? I have requested an off-campus interview, but have yet to receive any information/confirmation regarding it. I also did not receive the actual interview invite email, despite being invited 24 hours ago.

I also never got the invite e-mail. I did however get a confirmation after I scheduled my on-campus interview. Also got a promo e-mail which began with "since you were invited for interview...".

I think there is indeed some kind of issue with mail system. Maybe the system does not send a message if it detects the candidate already found out about the interview by looking first at the application page.

Did you guys unsubcribe from Booth emails? It technically comes from the same address. So I don't know if it affects it. I was invited to interview and just unsubscribed today because they have been sending so many emails that I thought were important. Hoping I know don't get any communication.

Hi all you guy, you should probably check your status on the online system first. School is processing the email sent to you if you got interview invitation status. Although I did not apply this round, I wish all the best for you guy.

Be always staying positive!

Did anyone else request an off-campus interview? Is seems like a lot of people are doing an on-campus interview - is there some sort of benefit to interviewing on-campus that I'm not aware of? I already made an official school visit fwiw.

Is it time to update my status to Ding, seeing almost everyone received an invite and it's only 2 days from 16th?
Anyone else waiting for an update?

So I called about the emails. I'm told that off campus you won't get any email until you are matched so don't worry about that. And if you didn't get an email about your interview it's because you checked the update online before the system sent out emails.

Dont underestimate how many lurkers there are. I'm still waiting.

Looks like only 21% have been invited thus far although I'm sure a couple didnt report.

They're still going to send out invites tomorrow and friday, someone mentioned last year that Friday was one of the heaviest invite dates.

My years as a sports fan have taught me its never over till its over.

Side question, do they actually send dings?
