Following the interview invite, the below mail was sent by the admission office:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Applicants,
Thank you to those of you who have already signed up for a timeslot to interview with IEOR Admissions. If you haven’t already, please do so as soon as possible. Please sign up for time slots before February 12 to assist us in making a timely review of your application. If you’ve scheduled a date after that, you can reschedule your interview by just changing it in the signup website. Note that there are other times available after the 12th but they are intended for applicants to other IEOR programs. The earlier you do your interview, the better.
Thank you.
IEOR Admissions

This is just for your information. So the 298 accepted may be for other programs too.
I did not receive this email. Thanks a lot.
