Looks like it. We will probably get the declined email on Dec 15th.
Wow, what a disappointment

Wow... ok. Then from now on, maybe I just need to stop checking this thread, and patiently wait for a ding letter. Or maybe even forget about it. Hopefully I can.[/quote]
Got an invitation yesterday (11/30). I did not check email until this morning, so noted a little late.
But based on my prior posts, responses and guess, it seems R1 applicants still have hope.
The only thing that bothers me a little is that earliest possible interview date is scheduled into next year 1/5/16.
Below is my timeline FYI:
R1 applicant, submitted app. on 10/15
on 11/19, emailed MBA admission team asking why official GMAT score was still not verified, and whether that was the reason holding my app from review (followed the strategy from one folk on this site); no response until 11/24
on 11/24, followed up with MBA admission on my prior email
later on 11/24, MBA admission emailed back saying GMAT score verified and updated, no other info about application review thing
11/30 afternoon, interview invitation received (not found until 12/1, because I lost hope previously, so not bothered checking email too frequent)
Overall, for R1 applicants, hope is still there!
