Passive lurker joining the ranks of those waiting for THE CALL. Went complete last week, so probably too early for a final decision yet but this waiting period is more excruciating than I thought.

sorry I should revise - I've been waitlisted. Unfortunately not the best situation to be in with J-term starting in two months or so!

I interviewed a week ago, and have yet to go complete. Anyone have any thoughts on when a bright-eyed applicant should reach out?

Not that I should be in a rush, interview was odd, and in my humble opinion, pretty poor.

Interviewer gets an automatic reminder from CBS. He is technically required to submit within 3 days of interview, but is allowed up to 2 weeks.
Why do you think interview went poor? Any unusual questions?

Invited to Interview: 10/12
Interview: 10/21
Complete: 10/28

It was a long wait. Good luck to everyone!

Thanks for the info.

I interviewed with an older alumni. He was interested in the day-to-day operations of my company, and asked me about them for about half of the interview. I only touch operations tangentially, so had some difficulty answering his rather detailed questions. I understand that he may have been gauging how I react under pressure, but due to time spent on ops, we had limited time for all other questions.

Also, and this is completely my fault, I neglected to email a copy of my resume. Just skipped over that line on the scheduling page. My interviewer noticed. Complete bonehead mistake on my end.

For RD applicants - email a copy of your resume!

Good luck. I'm waiting to go complete as well. I'd be much less worried if I had a 760 GMAT! :wink:

Just went complete! Let the agonizing wait period begin...

Does anyone know if all ED decisions (admit / denied / waitlist) are normally rendered before the New Year? It seems like adcom attempts to get to a decision within two months so it is unlikely that they would carry EDs into 2012 unless they were waitlisted right? Or is being deferred to ED a common practice?
