Deadlines: Round 1 : Oct 4, 2017 Round 2 : Jan 4. 2018 Round 3 : March 9, 2018 Decision Release Round 1 : Dec 13, 2017 Round 2 : March 14. 2018 Round 3 : May 9, 2018 REQUIRED ESSAY Tell us about yourself! There are no right or wrong answers. Be authentic and tell us what we won’t learn about you in the rest of your application. Imagine that you meet up with a member of the admission committee at an airport while on a layover. You have an opportunity to make a memorable impression. Use this essay to introduce yourself. Include any information that you believe is important for the committee member to know about you, both professionally and personally. Only one essay is required. Requirements: 300-350 words maximum, 12-point font, double-spaced OPTIONAL ESSAY There also is an optional essay for additional information about your candidacy that you may wish to share with the admissions committee. Use this essay to convey important information that you may not have otherwise been able to convey. This may include unexplained resume gaps, context for recommender selection, etc. If you are a re-applicant, explain how your candidacy has strengthened since your last application. Let's start the discussion and get into Tepper this year.

I don't think so!
There will be another wave coming soon

Any rough idea of how many days after submitting the application we might get an interview invite? I submitted my application in Round 2

Sorry- that was me and I don't want to start any false alarms. I received reminder email for my interview invite on the 18th, but apparently the first one went to me on the 5th. I didn't see it because for some reason it went to my junk mail folder. I want to clarify before anyone panics. Also, this is a cautionary tale to encourage everyone to check your junk mail folder just in case...

I got My interview invitation late on Friday night via email! I’m super pumped- headed out there mid February and will meet up with a current student I’ve spoken with before my interview.

Tepper is my third choice, but my excitement about this upcoming interview pushes it up the list!!

The concentrations look awesome and their leadership training is solid.

Can you please confirm whether it was a reminder mail or did you receive your first interview invite on Friday?
Just checking because one other guy also got a reminder on 18th Jan.
Check your promotions tab or spam/junk email.

My application also shows 'Awaiting' till now. So I don't think so there is any need to panic. They cannot possibly reject someone without going through their applications. I think a lot of people still have a pending status.

I’m a consortium applicant so I received The email Friday night telling me to register for an interview before or on the 26th.

Never had Tepper spam emails- As I understand it Consortium applicants may be on a different schedule for email invitations.
