That's awesome that you're keeping things in perspective. Lets get some good Ross vibes going here for both of us and hope for the best!
This also has me thinking about some advice from an admissions consultant somewhere here on GMATClub. They said a lot of people go for their reach/competitive schools in R1, and only go for safeties in R2 if it starts looking grim late in R1. They actually advised the opposite by locking down a safety in R1. At the time, I thought it sounded silly, but in some ways that's how it's gone for me and I'm so thankful that's the case.
I wouldn't say that Tepper is a safety for me by any stretch, but it definitely wasn't a reach. Having a school I'm excited about "in the bag" has been a supremely calming influence for me regarding R2 decisions. I would advise anyone going through this process to include a safety-esque school in R1 if at all possible.

Not sure what to tell you. i got my invite about 2 weeks ago, but there are interview dates through March 9th, so there may be a glimmer of hope.

Here's my update:
Consortium schools:
Haas: no word (assuming ding)
Yale SOM: waitlisted with interview
USC: interviewed last week... don't think it went well.
UCLA: interview next week via skype
Goizueta: interview saturday
Non-consortium:
Vanderbilt: interviewed, and feel good about it.
U-Wisconsin: my home school, may just decide to enroll in part-time if nothing else pans out.

. Bummer, I spent SOOO much freggin effort on that Berkeley app that I'm gonna be bitter if I don't even get an interview. Hopefully there I still a ray of hope. I've always heard those border school (ranked 5-8 minus Kellogg) seemingly get caught up with stats more than the top 4. There my not be a shred of truth in that and may just be the jilted lover feeling talking, but at least that would give me something else to whine about.
