Update from Satiya from admissions through the chat:
"Interview invites have started going out and will continue to go out for the next few weeks. No particular order :) "

Keep your fingers crossed! :D

EDIT: Another small update, I asked about a cutoff date and if it was location driven:
"There’s really no cutoff since we try to interview people who are admissible as much as we can. It’s not location-driven."

To add to this: There is no specific algorithm that you guys can reverse-engineer regarding when interview invites are sent with any relation to submission time, profile, scores, green check marks, weather, mood of Dean Olian, etc. It is not worth your anxiety to try to figure out the system because these factors don't correlate. I was in this position a year ago and went through the same anxiety. your best bet is to just go outside, take a walk, pick up a hobby, let the time pass until you get a response. No use pulling your hair out :)

Have been trying to keep from constantly refreshing my email, no invite yet. Guess I'll have to just be patient. It is helpful to know there's no pattern to it though, one less thing to obsess about ;)

Got an interview invite yesterday! As a re-applicant from last year getting the email was a relief.

Any other re-applicants here who received an invite? I wanted to ask that do I need to send a copy of transcripts and degree certificates if I sent them as a part of last years application?

I was a reapplicant and got an invite. I sent in one of two transcripts again and saw the X turn to a check mark. Presumably I didn't need to send anything. Call them to confirm.

It was pretty standard:

-Why MBA
-Career Goals
-Why Anderson
-What is your plan if your career goal doesn't work out
-Talk about a time you were a leader
-What role do you play in groups
-Biggest failure
-Strengths and weaknesses
-Would you change anything about this interview

How much weightage does Anderson put on interviews? Mine went not as good as I had expected. The call started with connection issues and we finally settled for a phone call. However much time was wasted in the process and we couldn't get in depth. :(

From the website:

"Interviews are conducted on an invitation-only basis and one is required before admission can be offered. Applications are re-read after the interview comments are added, and then the Admissions Committee decides whether to make an admission offer.
Interviews are rarely the deciding factor in an admissions decision; instead they typically mirror or round out information already provided in the application. We are interested in getting to know you as an individual and understanding how you'll fit into the next class. We assess your communication skills, social skills, and readiness for our program."

I had already read that piece of information, but wanted a personal opinion. Thanks anyway.
