Sooo, the deadline for waivers is 3 November. And after that a time period of one month for a chance to get a Skype interview invitation. It's not over yet, I hope you understand that. Why would anyone lose hope somewhat month before the date? Never ever give up! I mean I understand that everyone wants to get an interview the next day after submission, but probably for most of the candidates it does not work.
It is not over until you get a "we are unable to admit you" email. So don't lose hope and move forward.
