Anyone else get stopped in their tracks by the email from Haas saying "Congratulations to..." in the subject only to realize that the email was about Janet Yellen getting the top job at the fed? I did!

Hey did anyone's status change back to 'Application Under Review' from 'Interview and Review'?? Mine did.. I guess yesterday..

I did!!! You see congratulations and you see Haas , two hours after you submit the application That was so evil

According to last year thread, we should start receiving calls on Monday..

That's interesting. Mine did not change back, it still says "Interview and Review". I got the interview invitation pretty late though (12/23), so mine is probably a step or two behind yours in the process.

Mine changed to Application Under Review. I got the interview invite pretty early... if that helps with the analysis

I guess they're reading this. I received that email today (they might be doing batches) and it did not have 'congratulations to..' in the subject, just the headline. Also, received the invite on 12/23 and app is back under review. Good luck cracking that!

Interesting. Anyone else that has interviewed whose status hasn't changed in the portal? Curious. EDIT: My status just changed to 'Under Review' as well.
