I got two stupid "Live Chat" emails today ... still no interview though. Does that count for anything?

Congrats to those who have been fortunate so far!

Its especially bad on the gmail app for the Blackberry because I couldn't see the subject of the second email, only the sender of Chicago Booth Office of Admissions. Knowing the first email was about the chat, I thought the 2nd email was something different. But only to be disappointed yet again...

I didn't get the first chat email, just the second (I'm assuming) that arrived about 20 min ago. Maybe they forgot some people in the first blast and sent it again.

Did anyone who has received an interview submit their recommendations after the 14th?

got an interview invite this morning.

guys, relax - i got my interview invite on one of the last days possible last year. I know at least a couple of ppl who interviewed the same day as me and got in. Dont read anything into when you get the interview invite.. its probably just a matter of when your entire file is read. I don't think they go in any sort of order in reviewing files.

good luck.

It means exactly that....unlike Wharton where you can search up to 9 alums and try to find the "easiest" one...for Chicago, it is what it is...if your alum is a j*rk you are stuck with it...

how do u search for the ONE alumni - does the application system throw up a random name or can u type in his/her name??

and again, what about wharton - are the 9 alums random?

(sorry, haven't received an invite but i'm really curious! :) )

In the case of Chicago, you input your country/state/city and then in shows only one alum and that's it...the system actually sends an email to the alum saying that he will be your interviewer and that you will contact him.

In the case of Wharton, the system works differently, you can search alums by different criteria and it will show you a maximum of 3 results for each search and you can search until you get 9 results. Once you reach to 9, then you have to contact one of those 9...

I would be surprised if the official position on this is anything but that they're equally considered. Unofficially, there's probably no way of telling, although having already visited the school in person would count for something. If interviewed by an alumni, I definitely plan on describing my Booth Live visit and school impressions.

Pretty sure I'm officially doomed. I submitted my app on 10/8 and my last recommendation came in on 10/14 and still haven't heard anything.
