just read this off a clear admit blast....

While some schools rely on consensus when making the final decision, other schools employ different strategies. Rose Martinelli, Admissions Director at Chicago Booth, explained in her Q&A that, at Chicago, "once the interview is complete and the interview feedback is submitted, the complete file is given to an admissions director who has not previously reviewed the application. She or he makes a decision to admit or deny the candidate."

...not sure i like the sound of that AT ALL.

Your post scared me a bit. So I did a little search. You seem to have missed the last sentence

In short, the process, as mentioned in the Q & A, is

First step - the file is read by a 2nd year student who votes interview or deny
Second step - it is read by an adcom director who again votes interview or deny

If both decisions match then candidate is invited to interview. if not a third person breaks the tie

Third step - After the interview, a completely new adcom director again votes admit or deny

If the outcomes of all the three steps match, the candidate is admitted or the file is debated in the committe and a final recommendation is made

Here is the link if you are interested - https://blog.clearadmit.com/2008/09/qa-w ... artinelli/

Awesome info unplugged! Thx. And count me in for the Caribbean party...Atlantis-style! :D

This is a bit strange, but I interviewed on Feb 12th but just got an email from Booth admissions saying that I had been invited to interview and to schedule an interview. I'm really confused. Anybody else receive something similar?

Yes, I just got the same email.

Perhaps the better question is, did anybody who has already interviewed NOT receive that email?

I had already interviewed with Booth on Jan 21st. But I just received another email saying Congratulations, You are invited to interview with Booth. Am I the only one Chicago decided to play the cruel joke on?

Same here. Glad to hear others received the same. I'll bet they clear it up pretty quick.

Uhh... I just received an invitation to interview... AGAIN.

Although I am really excited that Booth is This Enthusiastic about my application, I think this invitation should go out to someone who doesn't have one yet. Anyone with, say, a Stanford invitation and a compulsion to live near the undulating curves of "the Bean" in Millennium Park or the lapping waves of Lake Michigan -- want to trade?

C'mon, there's got to be one of you out there...

I received the interview invite email as well this morning. My interview is scheduled for this Saturday, but I checked online and it still says my scheduled interview is set for Feb 27th so I am not changing it. Not sure what happened.

Got another interview invite as well! My heart jumped a beat as soon as I saw the "Congratulations" but then I noticed it is only Feb 24 today!

Is there anyone that has interviewed and not received a second invite?

Looks like it's fixed.

Email:

A couple of minutes ago you may have received an email invitation to interview at Chicago Booth. The email is a duplicate of the one you received a couple of weeks ago. Please disregard, we apologize for any confusion it may have caused.
