Same!! Glad I'm not the only one. Well, seems like interview invites can be coming any time. So much for not constantly refreshing my email every 5 minutes for the next 3 months

Can confirm from last year, the waiting is awful...

They mentioned they go through applications regionally. Do you have any idea if they do CA residents first? :D (I am a CA resident!)

Hi guys! Anyone heard any news for Haas?

Nothing yet. Honestly I'm trying to forget that I even applied because last year I was waiting all the way up until the decision deadline almost and it was a painful wait.

Waited for decisions or for an interview? I thought they gave interviews on a rolling basis and decisions all on the same due date?

Waiting for the interview.. But they roll out interview invites up until the decision deadline. I think before interview you get an update that you application is being reviewed, no? I wonder in what order do they review the regions..

Last year I got an interview invite on 8 the of March for R2 when the deadline was somewhere around 18th. How was your interview experience last year? Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Wow that's so tight between interview and decisions... I got an email today from an Admissions Manager saying "your file is now complete and ready for review by the admissions committee." Not sure whether to respond or how to interpret that. This entire process is very new to me.
