Hello from New Haven! The leaves are beginning to turn, students are nearing mid-terms, and apple cider, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon are in the air!
I wanted to let you know that Admissions is still working very hard in reviewing applications and sending out invites! So if you have not received yours yet, don't fret; many if not most are still yet to be sent out. The way the process works is that multiple folks in AdCom read each application and they are distributed randomly among several people, so even if say, four people were going to review your application and three have already done so, you're invitation for an interview wouldn't be sent out until the final AdCom member has given the thumbs up. This being said, to my knowledge these aren't done by geographic location - everything's done in a methodically random process so everybody has the exact same opportunity to be read "first." Everybody in each round is treated equally.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions!

Thanks for the heads up!
That's a bit of a relief to know that most invites haven't been sent out yet. I can't quite decide if I want to hear about people reporting successful invites...on one hand it means something is happening and maybe I'll get an invite soon, on the other it means maybe I didn't make the cut... >.<
Congrats to all who got invites so far!
