another question... so after the interview is the review of the interview the last factor in the ultimate decision or do they go over the entire application again?

So the AdCom blog says....

When we first receive an application, we evaluate an applicant’s academic record (i.e., undergraduate GPA, institution, major and course rigor; GMAT/GRE score; and, for non-native English speakers, the TOEFL/IELTS score) and an applicant’s professional experience. The rationale for looking at these two elements first is that we want to have a relatively high degree of confidence that the applicant can be academically successful in our rigorous program and will have knowledge and experience to contribute to class discussions and team projects.

The first review guides our preliminary interview invitation list. Some applicants may be placed on the list early on while others may be added later in the process. But when an applicant is placed on the interview invitation list doesn’t impact the timing of the interview invitation or the final decision nor is it an indicator of an applicant’s likelihood of being admitted. This year, interview invitations will be extended in two blocks in Rounds 1 and 2 rather than on a rolling basis, as we’ve done in the past.

I think the first round interview calls directly translates into 700+ GMAT scores, high GPA and an excellent career track. Second round of interview invitation digs deeper into the essays for further filtration.

i dont know... there are some high gmaters who hasnt reported (maybe busy). it might just be a combination of those since my gpa is like 2.92... but she also went on saying that 1st batch doesnt mean advantage over 2nd batch. So IMO once you are invited for either batch you are standing on even ground and the interview might be the key in getting admit?

i think the only difference may be the interviewer will be more experienced. they use 2nd years so if you pick later date they wouldve had many interviews under their belt and have a better understanding of the process..

Per the prior year Ross thread, plenty of the Super Saturday invites were admitted to the school. I'd say your chances are just fine.
