I wouldn't get down. The official timeline I was told at info sessions on the phone with adcom staff is 4-6 weeks from submission for an invite/ding, and within 2 weeks of interview feedback. If you applied at the ED deadline then you haven't even entered that window yet. I can sympathize with the impatience after two go-rounds of this, but don't give up hope.

It did! For some reason it doesn't show up on the sidebar but I was admitted ED this year and am matriculating to CBS next fall.

Those who applied on 10/2 and got an interview invite in the last few days, can you please tell what time you submitted your application.

Anybody else have to wait 5 or more days before the interviewer submitted feedback? I don't want to annoy the interviewer and ask her to submit feedback if I don't have to. Had it Tuesday Morning.

Sorry if this has been answered already - how can you check whether the feedback was submitted? I logged onto my application and there doesn't seem to be a field for that...

If it were me, I would find an excuse to email the interviewer about a somewhat related subject if she doesn't reply by Monday for you. E.g., in my interview we talked about some classes that were really stand out - and I would send an email to the effect of "Thanks again for chatting last week. I followed up on those classes and it made me realize X. Just wanted to share and thank you for the insights again."

Should help stay top of mind. Just a thought.

Thanks for the response. I would do that but I already sent a thank you note, which she didn't reply to, so I don't want to annoy her off with another email. I guess I'll just wait a few more days and see what happens, maybe she was just busy at work this week and will do it over the weekend.

I think I read in an interview with the assistant dean that they're shooting to render a decision within 2 weeks of the interviews.

Hi all, got my interview invite yesterday morning.
I had been an addict to this board and was actually writing off my chances...
I applied pretty late on 10/2, very close to the deadline.

Hi . have any of Indian ED applicants received an interview invite as yet (More specifically those who applied around 10/2) ? I believe, they will be conducting most of the ED interviews around the same time ....

It shouldn't affect your application at all, but alternatively, you could also reach out the admissions office. Tell them that it's been X days since the interview, and that you are just checking if the office has received the feedback yet. They will most likely nudge the interviewer for you.

Congrats - good luck with the interview. Be prepared to answer the following, since these were the unusual questions in my mind: "You have never lived in NY, describe how you see that experience going," "Describe a day of your life at CBS," and "Talk about a time you tried really hard to get something but came up short - how did you react?" (Which is not the same as the failure question in my mind)
