Whew! Do you know if it's the same for Stanford and Columbia?
No. I don't
shurugall
i submitted for R2 and paid on the 5/1.

however, on the application status, the payment has not been confirmed by the office, even though they say it takes 1 to 2 business days.

does anyone have the same problem? i hope that the application was well received.

good luck to all!

Don't sweat. If there is a problem, they will contact you. Mine said 'verified' after 3 days

Thanks Unplugged. My manager just submitted his letter of rec for Booth today and the status of application says "Received". Now comes the waiting!

From the latest e-mail from Booth, it seems that Booth will start sending interview invites from Jan.20.
Did anyone else got that mail?

Yup and Feb 17 is the mid-decision date. You'll know your mid-fate by that mid-point.

I'm mildly satiated by the translucency. (BTW, I just went searching for a standard tongue-sticking-out-smiley-face and I couldn't find it... I clicked "View more smilies" for the first time... I never want to go back there. :::Shudder:::)

I mean, they could actually be transparent and tell us how they decide the order for interview invites and the number they expect to send out each day. They could tell us the date they expect to pick up our application based on their ordering system. Or if they determined the application is a reject after first view, they could let us know prior to Feb 17.

Am I being too demanding of Rose's team?

Received the email also. I like how they are being upfront about the application process unlike most other schools (yes, you Stanford and Columbia...).

No they really can't. Here's why. First, they don't decide "an order" for interview invites. The reason is really quite simple: why bother? Why would they have any preference as to which applicant is read in which order - who cares (other than you) whether applicant #309 is read before or after applicant #302? Or if someone with a last name starting with Z is read before someone with a last name starting with A? They go out as they are decided, and there's no way for them to tell you when they expect your application to be read.

The reason they cant possibly do it relates to how applications are read. Lets assume there are two candidates -- one candidate is applicant number #200 and the other is applicant #300. Although each school has its own process, generally speaking, each application is read at least twice (and sometimes three times) prior to a decision on interview being made. Imagine that application #200 is read by two part time readers (who read say, 50 apps a week) while application #300 is read by two full time readers (who read say, 100 a week) -- it's easy to see how #300 might be 'complete' before #200.

Finally, would you really want them to reject you after just a first view? What if, after reviewing other candidates, they determined that perhaps you would be more suited for a waitlist, or perhaps even an interview after all?

Having gone thru a handful of app processes in Rd 1 I can tell you that Chicago's is by far the most transparent. They send out specific instructions of what to expect, the deadlines are set and respected. There are no surprises.

Yes, all you've said is true. In all honesty, I completely appreciate what we're sent about the timeline and I really have no complaints. Just post-submission jitters is all.
