I hope there's a status change every morning... no waiting would be great!

Seriously!

No - your status will change to "Under Review" before an interview invitation is issued. If any components of your application are missing, it will show "Incomplete" until all materials have been received and attached to your file (at which point your status will change to "Under Review").

From my experience in the ED round, it can take as long as 2-4 weeks to go under review, then another 2-4 weeks to receive an invitation (though others on this forum have experienced shorter waiting periods). Good luck.

Thanks for the information!

Still no movement for deferred ED applicants, I presume?

Not sure there has been any movement for anyone yet this calendar year. Seems that there are a few outstanding ED applicants, in addition to deferred EDs and RDs...

How does a RD get deferred? An RD has been pushed already to Round 2?

What have deferred ED people done with CBS - more R2 apps, watching time by, etc.? Does anyone know when CBS will get back in touch with the deferred?

As a deferred ED, I was told I should find out no later than Feb 1st what their final decision is. Not holding my breath on this one...

As an RD you would just be waitlisted, not deferred.

Finally got my application in last night at 11:40pm. This morning the status changed to "printed" or whatever although I was still missing one recommendation letter.

Finally got notice my last recommender got his letter in just now. PHEW.

I hope that keeps me in the queue for 11:40pm on the 4th as opposed to the hundreds who likely submitted this morning! hehe

God, why didn't I finish this earlier? Sigh. Ah, the life of a procrastinator--seriously does not work well with these rolling admissions!!! AMIRITE?!

Well, good luck to all!

(sorry, this is my first post here.. just had to vent my relief that it's over... though now anxiety begins.)

At least you didn't submit in mid-October and hear nothing yet...

I know I am being super annoying about my interview-related questions. But does anyone know if it's ok to talk about non-work related experience for the "teamwork" experiences? Because I actually have a good example from some of the classes I took . . .

I think teamwork experiences outside the workplace are fine, but they would be even better if they are in the real world and not in classes/a school. Balancing your responses between work and non-work stuff to present yourself as a multidimensional person is key.

Sorry to hear that, smallwo. If you don't mind me asking, when did you submit / interview / receive notice of your deferral?

Good luck with the rest of your apps.

3 year JD/MBA applicant here, anyone else out there applying to this program?

Submitted 12/8 but was listed as incomplete pending receipt of a recommendation. My reviewer submitted 12/21 but I wasn't marked as complete until today when I called to ask about my status.
