I haven't sent anyone any email yet. When I login to my account and check my status, I see the above message.

I believe you would also be seeing this message before you were sent the interview invite.

It is just getting more and more confusing... Mine still says submitted, not In Review or anything.... Does everyone's status change to "In Review"?

Mine is 'submitted'.

You can email them and ask if all the interview invites have been rolled out or not.

Are all the invites out yet?

I hope not because mine still says 'In Review'

. If McCombs is planning to award me with an admit directly, then it is a different thing

Even my application status is "In Review". Does anyone know till how late people got interview invites last year.

I interviewed in early November but according to the application website, the GMAT/TOEFL official score status is still "Missing". My application status is "Incomplete"/"Submitted". Anyone else in the same situation?

Has any indian applicant with a score below 700 been interviewed? Just to get an idea of the importance placed on the score.
Thanks.

You should check with them about the GMAT/TOEFL situation. From what I know, all the applicants who've been interviewed have the status say "Submitted" with the official scores received. I don't know personally if the issue maybe with TOEFL since I was waived off that requirement.

the wait is very very difficult to bear now!

Indeed.. According to the last year's thread, if that could act as a ref., they started rolling out decisions on the 10th of Dec, when the notification deadline was set on the 20th...
If that math can be translated directly, we might be hearing back from them on the 8th... :shock:

I interviewed on the 29th of Oct... the wait cannot be any longer... dang

I don't think there is any logic followed for diaplsying the status of your application.

My status has been in 'in review' state since the moment I submitted all the scores, fees, etc. There are some here, whose status is 'submitted' even after the interview process. Let Dec 18 come and we will know for sure.

Did Anyone hear back from the college as yet
My interviewer(second year student) said they will roll out admission before the deadline . When exactly he also dint knew.
The wait is killing .
I also had another doubt .
I believe that I have a solid profile and good score , but due to some reasons the interview did not go well, it became rather monotonous and boring. Does anyone know whats the ratio to interview calls to final admits and also how critical ( or what share) will the interview be on my final decision.

Regards and best of Luck to everyone
