They do them on a rolling basis up until the deadline.

 

[fishoutofwater]

has anyone heard of admissions being announced before the deadline or do they all just come out at once?

Anybody else received interview invites yet? Anybody have any idea about how many people are usually interviewed? Do they send out the invites in batches?

In my interview she said I was in the first batch and shouldn't expect to hear until 6-8 weeks later so likely yes on the batches of interview invites

Hey, just got mine today with open dates only tomorrow and day after. So it seems like they send out very small batches at a time.
