I applied right at the round 2 deadline and heard back about admission 1/22. It looks like there are a few other admissions logged for round 2 as well. It seems they're more flexible than other programs on this.

They asked you to retake your GMAT when you applied with a 680?

Thanks jb22201. I hope mine case will go fast as well. So have you decided to join Owen this summer? Of course NO. lol I asked for an application fee waiver, and they encouraged me to make the score 700+ so that they can grant me a fee waiver based on academic competence.

Did you have some sort of special circumstances? What was the reason that they gave you a decision 7 weeks early?

lol you didn't mention the fee waiver bit. That's why I was so confused.

I have not decided on a program yet. I live in Missouri and have an Olin admit with small scholarship, so that's appealing since it would be a close move. Waiting to hear back from a few more schools as well.

I did not have any special circumstances. I told them during my interview I would probably only visit schools I was admitted to due to travel constraints with my job. My theory was they wanted to get the admission delivered in time for me to attend the Discover Weekend in February.

That's extremely accommodating. 10 day turn around on applications would save a lotttt of anxiety

The adcom may be flexible in decision when you look like potential candidates. I applied in R1 and submitted my application 2 weeks before deadlines. Received interview invitation 2 days after (even at that time my recommenders havent submitted LoRs) and receive admission call 1 day before notification day. So my advice: make sure you are well prepared for interview even the invite is yet to come. dont know when your luck come,

I had my interview two weeks ago. My point is he got a decision almost 2 months before the decision date... I've never heard of anything like that. You got a decision one day before the decision date. That's fairly normal practice.
