Oh man, is it October 31? Hadn't even thought about Wharton. Totes not a big deal. *throws up from nerves*

Interview should be pretty straightforward though, just 10 minutes conversation on feedback/reactions on TBD, Walk me through your resume, Why Wharton, any updates and that's pretty much it. Sometimes its even less than that. Not to worry too much at all if you prepare for Booth as well.

The noon timeslot is gone. 3:00pm is the next landmark slot. Fingers crossed.

I'm so excited for you guys! Last year the interview was sent out in the afternoon so relax Good luck all and see you at Wharton!

Will they call or send out emails? Anyone knows?

I got an email on October 2nd from the Admissions saying that "The Admissions Committee will release interview invitations on Friday, October 31, 2014 by 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. On October 31st, the Committee will also release all final admissions decisions to candidates that are not being invited for an interview and therefore no longer being considered for admission." So I think it isn't worth stressing out or hitting F5 like nuts as we did with Booth -- we just got to relax and wait another couple of hours (of course, easier said than done). Good luck to you all!
