Congrats on the interview! Seems like the timing for Consortium applicants must not be as closely aligned to regular R2 applicants as I originally thought. R2 applicants have been receiving their admissions calls all week. Since the Consortium Round 2 applicants were told that we'd hear "next steps" by 2/15, I guess I always assumed that would be an admit decision. Isn't all of the conjecture a (not) fun way to pass the time?!?

@Cinder: The invite asked Consortium applicants who couldn't attend the Stern Perspectives day to interview by Feb. 28. They have an online scheduling system, so I think it's worth keeping hope alive until as late as Feb. 26/27 - I interviewed two days after my invite.
