Did you hear back? or is your status still "under review" My status just changed to "under review" yesterday. I wonder how long it will take to hear back.. Submitted 10/11 Under Review 10/20

Can anyone share some guidance on the TOC essay? The word limit is 400, which would be one long TOC! Are any of you doing the Blackman tip to write small narrative descriptions of chapters? How many chapter lines or pages did you end up with? I don't want to under or overshoot this thing by a ridiculous margin!

Two weeks after being submitted, my application package is finally under review. _____________________________________ Submitted Date: 10/7/2011 Recommendation Providers: ***** *****: Submitted, 10/10/2011 ***** *****: Submitted, 10/9/2011

Well.. I was not sure how to go about this as well. I divided the table of contents into main sections and sub section. The I limited the main sections to 3-5 words.. Under each main section, I has sub 3-8 sections (limited to 1 line).. In all I had 10 main sections (398 words). I didnot try to be creative..(i knew that wouldnt work for me)

That's what I did. I ended up having 8 chapters, with a couple sentences about each one. 400 words, one page, clean layout, good content. I tried making a real TOC but it just got ridiculous after a certain point.

Cheers guys, I appreciate the responses as they've helped me get on the right track today!

There were a few of the titles I wrote descriptions or a few words about, but for the most part I only wrote the chapter titles, since many of them are kind of self-explanatory and they highlight things I touched on in my other applications.

Did they start giving out invites for the interviews? Did anyone get an invite?

See below quoted post for one person who has received an interview invitation. My application went 'under review' late last week, so if they were to invite me, I shouldn't be getting one until late this week at the very earliest.
