I received an interview invite yesterday.

Then again, I also submitted about a week early.

Has your status changed? Did it change any time between submission and invite for interview?


No, it still says, "Your application has been submitted. Thank you for applying to Darden"
But now, there is a line that says, "Your interview..."

Yes if you dont get an invite this week, dont freak out. They come out slowly over time. I think I got my invite last year a few weeks after the first invites went out.

Did they say that they would send anything to confirm that your application is complete? What was this 7-10 business days they mentioned in their email? Has anyone received a notice that their application was incomplete?
