Sorry, by “heard back” do you mean confirmation of application receipt or interview invite?

Anyone else getting worried about Anderson and Marshall? This is taking longer than any other school.

Did my interview at Ross. Haven't heard back from Haas or Tuck on interview invite. Haven't gotten confirmation from Johnson that they received application. Anyone know of anything?

So happy I found this thread!

Applied to 6 schools and here’s where I stand in no particular order:

Emory - Pre-application interview and received confirmation
Yale SOM - Invited to Interview
Haas - Invited to Interview
Darden - Invited to Interview
Tuck - Invited to Interview
Stern - Finally received confrontation of receipt last week

So glad there is a place with other people who are also going through this waiting game!

It’s nice to feel like I’m not so alone in this

Yup, getting anxious here. Looking at past years, Anderson sent out invites late Oct/early Nov. Couldn't find many posters talking about Marshall.
For this year, at least we aren't the only ones experiencing a delay.

This is directly from the UCLA Anderson website regarding Consortium candidates. I'm hoping interview invitations will begin going out next week since that will be approximately 4 weeks.

Interviews are conducted on an invitation-only basis after applications are reviewed, and an interview must be completed to be admitted to the program. Interview invitations generally start going out four weeks after the application deadline, and continue to go out on a rolling basis up until the notification deadline. Interviews are offered both on campus and via Skype.

Candidates invited to interview will need to submit official hard-copy undergraduate transcripts directly to our admissions office. The transcript copy that is included in the Consortium application will be used for preliminary evaluation purposes but is not considered an official transcript. Additional information will be provided in the interview invitation.

Candidates invited to interview will also need to submit official test scores (GMAT/GRE/TOEFL/IELTS) directly to us electronically. The test scores included in the Consortium application will be used for preliminary evaluation purposes but official test scores need to be reported directly to us from the testing organization. Additional information will be provided in the interview invitation.

Update: I just heard back from Anderson saying they are now evaluating my application. Below is some info from the email:

-Interview invitations will be sent out as needed throughout the round
-By December 18 you will either receive an interview invitation or a decision on your application
-Consortium fellowship and membership decisions will be released in mid-March

Which date did you get the invite to Yale SOM? I am trying to figure out if they are sending out invites on a rolling basis.

I got the same email as Senpapi and NandoG from Anderson then about 6 hours later I got a separate email notifying me of a "decision" on the applicant portal. When I set up my account on the portal I had an interview invite waiting for me and I was able to schedule my interview.

Congrats, looks they are sending out invites quickly. Senpapi does your portal have an update? Mine just says awaiting payment. Hoping to get an invite soon.

Has anyone who applied on 10/15 heard from NYU Stern yet? I got log in credentials on 11/5 and they said they received my application on 10/23 in their portal.

Been radio silent on all apps and haven't gotten any log in credentials. I'm seriously tweaking at the fact I don't know if they haven't read my app yet or have thrown it out by now lol

Do you mind sharing which schools? If they're schools others haven't heard back from I wouldn't worry.

I receieved a confirmation email from Haas on 10/22 but no login as of yet.
Silent on Anderson and Stern but seems like they have been a bit slow with everyone.

Hopefully it's just me being paranoid lol
