My "To Do list" is complete barring one item: interview. Do I have to initiate an interview or wait for the Ad Com? (As far as I can remember they had an option for self-initiated interviews before 2/1).

You are right vicksikand. As per their website, the interview is self-initiated before Feb. You can call them and confirm. But I believe, you should hear back from them soon.
Best of luck with your application!!

Had my interview today. There was a goof-up by the hotel where I was to meet her, so I ended up meeting her nearly 40 minutes late, which I don't think would be a point in my favour by any means.

The rest of it was quite good, very general, but I'm really not happy about the start!

I'd guess by early March as welcome weekend is late March. This would give you time to attend if you decided to. Good luck.

I submitted my materials on Dec. 1, but Emory had some difficulties in processing one of my letters of recommendation, so I didn't have a technically complete packet until January 19th. I received a decision on January 26th, so I think it is safe to say that the estimated time frame that they give you of 4-8 weeks is probably accurate.

I assume this 4-8 week time frame is for the final result (including interview).

I interviewed on a Super Saturday a few days after I submitted my app, so it includes having already interviewed with the school.

I submitted last night, and my online application indicates as much, but I never got a confirmation of submission or anything, nor an email about logging in to check my status and To Do List.

They mention a 5 day period - does that refer to the initial confirmation?

Just feels weird to get no acknowledgement.

I got an email(this morning) from the ad com confirming that my application was complete and that it is going to start reviewing my file. The email said it will take 4-8 weeks to make a decision;however, it did not mention anything about the interview. Any insight on how their interview process works.

I had the same experience. Within a few days (I don't remember if it was the full 5 days), you will get an email from Emory with a username and password to log on to OPUS. OPUS is the system where you check your application status for completion.

After February 1, the interviews are by school invitation only. Prior to February 1, they are student initiated.

I just checked OPUS and my decision letter came in - Accepted! I don't know whether I'll be able attend because of the cost differential between my other local option, but I am nonetheless super excited!
