I completed my application by their last day of required completion i-e April 10. Do I really have a chance? I don’t think so

 

[Hamza Ali]

I just checked too ... I'm in! Anyone else?

What is your profile? Did you get an interview?

 

[Xsheng]

Has anyone received an interview invitation yet? I got the under review notification on 16th but nothing else since then... I heard someone got both the under review notification and an interview invitation on 17th. Does this mean a lower chance for me now?

 

[Xsheng]

I guess the real question is, does under review mean they literally checked out my profile?

 

[WorkofArt]

I received the under review notification after my application was complete on the 17th. I don't know the semantics but I just guess it means that your application is completed and would be reviewed. I don't think it's possible to know if they've gone through it completely or not.
I haven't received an interview invitation yet but would love to know if anyone else already did.

Too early to start guessing your chances. Per the admission info sessions, they even allow 3 weeks after the deadline for any missing materials to be updated.

Not ruling out early interview invites for a few candidates, but I would not fret over it just yet.

 

[auroreaborealis]

Dont they usually release interviews like in Mid Feb? In the past years at least.

 

[rillsong]

Does anyone update missing materials but got no reply since that? I updated grading scale on 18th but it still shows that my application is incomplete. Is that normal or am I silently rej...?

Are there any red crosses or all green ticks once you log into your account?

I think it will probably take them some time to review your updated materials and clear any of the red x’s. Since you just updated on the 18th, I would say do not worry; given it’s right around Christmas, I would imagine things are slowing down.

 

[WorkofArt]

Someone recently updated their tracker about their interview invite. Has anyone else received interview invites already?

 

[auroreaborealis]

I have not. I think its a better idea to ignore the tracker at this point.

Remember, worry wont help. Think positive and let their adcom do their job. We cant do anything to affect the chance anymore, might as well as be at peace with it.

I got a missing materials email on 12/15, updated on the same day, and got another email 1/6 saying that they received the updated materials.
