It took me 8 weeks to get an invite so don't give up hope.
For most of you remember, the interview is usually the LAST piece of the puzzle for evaluation. They've looked at everything else, they've decided you're a good candidate and may need that extra reassurance. Or you're interesting enough the interview can push you in the admit category.
It's not uncommon for these to be out of the blue and late in the application process. NO ONE should give up hope just yet. For many of the Round Two folks, it really hasn't been that long. I'm actually impressed by the turnaround time thus far of most schools and most should expect invites to be rolling in through February (just look at last year's forum as a reference point)![/quote]
I respect your opinion Senator,..but if i'm correct you're an R2 (meaning December applicant),...and Haas consolidates Consortium apps,... so the reason it took 8 weeks for your invite is probably because your app wasn't being reviewed for much of that time. My guess is your interview probably went out shortly after it was reviewed.
Anyhow,...I just reviewed the email they forwarded to me on Jan.11......it says that the file is "ready for review"....so not technically in review,...just "ready" for review. So thats my hope right now. Man,..its frustrating waiting for these invites.
