For those looking for more ED stack data: I Applied 9/21, and was invited to interview 10/07.

Wow 2 weeks turnaround for ED guys!!! Congrats! Goodluck on your interview FunnyReference

It seems as though everyone who has applied ED and has received interview invites has gotten in. Has anyone been rejected yet? Is it just an extremely good sign to have received an interview invite 2 weeks after applying?

I sure hope so...interviewed earlier this week so am painfully waiting!

Something that my interviewer told me after I was accepted was that admissions doesn't mind wasting your (an applicant's) time nor do they mind wasting an admissions officer's time, but they do not want to waste their alumni's time... They only invite very promising candidates to interview- especially now. Obviously it's no guarantee, but that should help put an interview invite into perspective!

I hope so! Congrats on the acceptance! I was actually declined after interview last year, however that was MUCH later in the RD process, and I've heard others echo the sentiment that an interview invite is a great sign during ED.

Got the call yesterday! Pumped. Long time lurker, but this forum has been absolutely incredible in helping me with the process, and I figured that I'd add my dates for those of you who want more data. All parts of Application complete: 8/25 Interview received: 9/16 Interview feedback submitted: 10/4 Acceptance call: 10/11 Good luck everyone! Rooting for you guys.

Congratulations! I was wondering if you could you give us your background? Seems like you had a pretty long time period between the application and the acceptance! I applied ED and on the deadline so I still have a while to wait to hear anything back....!

tejusmenon, ~6-7 weeks seems to be about average so far. I'm sure a lot may have to do with when you are actually able to schedule an interview with an alumni ambassador.
