I think Booth sent out that email so that the number of pages for Calling Chicago Booth Applicants beats that for Calling Kellogg applicants on the GMAT club forum.

Guys...the duplicate invitation fiasco will never beat the 3-or-5 boxes fiasco from Wharton in R1...I have never witnessed that level of paranoia (which ended up being accurate) in a forum

Oh Common! How about this...

Dear coakleym,

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.

Sincerely,

How did you get your hands on coakleym and RoseM's e-mails, unplugged?! Or, given the similarity of their handles, are they the same person? Are you actually all three of you? If so, um, you can ignore most of my posts on this board... And also: thanks for all the kudos. And please: quit playing games with my heart. My heart. My heart.

And I have some questions for you.

No I'm not. May be Coakleym and RoseM are same. May be you will receive an admit call soon with $$$. Hence the kudos :wink:

Haha, how many applications to major business schools do you think end up being prank applications? I suspect close to zero because only rare business school applicants seem to have risky senses of humor. Paying $200 to get Rose to read applications written under her name would be almost worth it.

Most fun fake applications to write would probably be:
1. Barney Stinson. Whoever has that account on GMATClub is doing a pretty good job impersonating, so I'll put him/her in charge of that.
2. Doogie Howser would actually be pretty humorous. Could shoot for dual degree, MPH/MBA, annoy/impress two adcoms at the same university.
3. Any of Britney Spears/Paris Hilton/Jessica Simpson. Booth's Essay #2 would be great for any of those three.
4. Pick a pornstar. When making your case, remember essay writing rule #1: show, don't tell.
5. George W. going for a PhD in business (or a Master's in IR/IA)

Does anyone have an idea if all applicants not yet dinged received this email?

My mind is racing with ideas that it was sent to only a select group of applicants (ie, those Booth has already decided to admit or reject)

I got the email, and I haven't even interviewed yet. I think it's safe to assume that everyone received this email, and even safer to assume that receiving it has nothing to do with your final admissions status.

Curious fact, did you know that Rose was an opera singer?? Perhaps we should all sing serenades for Rose during the interviews to get admits. :musband :drinking :punk

Rose mentioned that at the Chicago Booth Live event. She also said that she thought everyone in the room (~165 people) all could get into Booth, but it just depended on how well they sold them selves. :)

Your interview status should have a little note saying "Interview Completed" once your interviewer sends in the interview report.

Anyone else completely at a loss of what to do between now and the 24th? I just wish they would start sending out admits as soon as they make the decisions instead of the infernal wait!

But I remember the interview invite email saying the status remains "Invite to Interview" till the decision is rendered.

good point tdave but then you'd freak out if you weren't one of the lucky ones to get an early call! at least this way you know the only reason you haven't been called is because noone has. hang in there!

any R1 admits still hanging around this forum? just wondering if any gmatclubbers are planning on attending admit weekend?
