Not all people report interview on GmatClub, or ChaseDream for Chinese. It looks like people become less opt to report such info.
I told AO that I'm ok from Dec 11 to 18. And they scheduled my interview on Dec 18. That means the interview slots might have already been filled up. So I guess the interviews are not as few as you think. Btw, Cornell sent the interview to me two days before DDL last year and I was waitlisted in the end. So please don't lose hope this early! <Even a waitlist offer on R1 is good, you have plenty of time to work on an official offer. Too bad I applied R3 last year.>
I just applied Michigan and Cornell this year. No interview from Ross and I do hope I can get into Cornell~
May GOD bless us all!
