Meanwhile, back in Booth R2 Application land:
my friend received this message:
Dear XXXXX XXXXX,
Your status has changed to "Complete". Your application under review by the admissions committee.

My status is still just "Received." Regardless, the school reported they will begin inviting as soon as next Wednesday. After so many long agonizing application processes, Booth's is very refreshing! For THREE other schools I did not hear one peep from them for over two months. And that was just the beginning. But here, in one month we will be dinged or have interviewed. So simple...
