In my case it took 3 weeks before they came out with the decision. But since you are a third round applicant (assuming ) you can expect an early response. Probably, within a week or so.
Do let us know if the result turns out the way you want it. All the best for the result.

Hi Guys,
I recently saw the post on "Katz class of 2017" forum and thought I might be of some help here, by sharing my experience that I had with Katz Business school.
I had applied to Katz in the first round of the application. I was shortlisted and interviewed soon after and was admitted to the program thereafter. The interview questions were more or less generic on the profile and my experience.
A bit of my background.
I have 5 years of IT experience and have worked in the Financial domain with a Hong Kong based multinational. I also have international experience in working with a product based company in the technology sector. In my 5 years of experience, I have worked in the IT domain as an analyst and as a developer in the middleware and EAI layer.
I was in the same dilemma as you are, on which concentration to go for the interview as I am still not sure whether I want to take strategy consulting or technology/product development as a mainstream career choice. However, I went ahead with strategy with my interview selection.
The point I am trying to make here is that it will really not matter which concentration you choose for the interview because the decision of taking up the concentration as a career choice will be finally taken up in the second year of the MBA. My thought process on selecting the concentration is that I would want to study the mandatory subjects in the first year of MBA which would comprise subjects on all concentrations and then decide on what concentration I want to choose as a career choice so that I can make an informed decision. So, I believe one should not fret over it. Just be confident with laying down your thought process and you should be good.
Also, to add, I would say I had done a lot of research on colleges in the same category of GMAT and experience, Katz surely came out to be the best bet.
Lot of advantages Katz has, more in terms that it is a state university with a good reputation, the fee is quite affordable in comparison to other B-schools and Pittsburgh is a great place to live and earn education. Plus, it has proximity to New York and Boston which would be a great boon in terms of available job opportunities. I have connected with students who are there in the second year at Katz Business school and I received great feedback on the program.
I am totally convinced and would recommend Katz to everyone.
I wish all the best to the folks applying to Katz business school and would be happy to further share my experience on this.
Let us all admitted students connect more over the course of next few months before we head to US for a new and amazing start.
Regards

Hey,
I also got interview invite after few days of my application submission, just wondering how long does they take on providing the final decision. During my interview the intervier said the decision will be out in like 4-6 weeks. Was your case similar?
I am waiting for the good news from the college about my acceptance.
