Be nice if they did; not like it would be much more effort on their end. Instead, if you're passed over you just have to wait nervously for months to hear something. On that note, received my "ready to review" email today. The wait intensifies...

Completely agree! Best of luck to you. Currently the only bschool emails I’ve been getting are from schools I didn’t apply to. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Just got an invite to interview. I am from Los Angeles, CA.

Congrats man! Can you confirm when you received the "ready to review" invite? Imagine there isn't a definitive timeline but still interesting to see.

I received the ready to review email on October 10. Received the interview invite today 10/24/17. So about a 14 day lead time.

Do you mind sharing when you submitted your application?

I submitted on the deadline date 9/21/17. Received the "ready for review" email on 10/10/17. Interview invite 10/24/17.

Weird question, I think I just got that "ready for review" email. It showed the sender is a person (a name that I don't remember) rather than "Haas". The email got into spam and istead of marking it as not spam I deleted the email by mistake and can't retrieve it now. Can anyone help me and write the sender name? Posted from my mobile device
