Count me in Round 1. 740 GMAT. Corporate background. Top-tier international undergrad.
Got an interview (and had my interview).

For all of you who have not heard, here is something which I was told by an admissions consultant which may help you to understand why you may not have heard:

"The application review process works as follows:

1) Two second-year students read your app and recommend "Interview"/"No Interview"
2) An AdCom member reads your app and recommends "interview"/"No Interview"
3) If there is disagreement, between the two students and the Adcom member, it goes to committee
4) You get/do not get an interview

If there were disagreement (e.g. perhaps you rubbed an AdCom member the wrong way, or a student), your application could be going through a second review. It does not impact your candidacy."

It should be comforting to know that there are checks and balances in place to ensure that if you get dinged, it was because a few people (not just one) felt your candidacy was not as strong as those of other applicants.

On an unrelated note, kudos to Chicago for being transparent. A mid-decision date is a gift to applicants, so at least they have closure. It's not death by 1000 cuts.

it's not death by 1000 cuts? chicago is the only app stressing me out because everyone is getting interview invites and all i have is radio silence. ok, maybe it's like death by 500 cuts. overly dramatic? yes.

James got it 98% right

1) Two second-year students read your app and recommend "Interview"/"No Interview" (it used to be one, this may have changed)
2) An AdCom member reads your app and recommends "interview"/"No Interview"
3) If there is disagreement, a third staff member (often, Rose) breaks the "tie"
4) You get/do not get an interview
5) Decisions on admission are then completed in committee (with the exception of a handful of very strong candidates for which there is no debate)

Generally speaking there is one adcom who is your proponent -- it is their job to build a case for your admission at committee, while others ask questions and raise issues.

When can I ask my question of "I still have not received my invitation, does that mean there is a disagreement between adcom and student on my application and pending review from Rose?"

Don't know if a late burst will change the trend but so far the gmat score for interviews listed on page 1 is still hovering around the 750 region.

Thank you for the insight. Very useful information. Would you happen to know how things would proceed after the interview? Would it be an 'admit/don't admit' from the interviewer and then the adcom or would the interviewer provide a summarized feedback which gets added to the file and gets reviewed by the adcom along with all other items?
I'm sorry to jump the gun to post-interview discussion now. Completely empathize with folks waiting on i/v invite. All the best

Interviewer comments are just added to your file - its not a "phase gate" / not "make or break".
