Thank you!
I did post my profile on the tracker. I believe there were plenty of slots still when I looked...about 15-20 days available, although I'm not sure how many slots in each day. I chose Feb 20, which had 4 or 5 slots for the day.
At least you already have an offer! That is a great option.
I haven't heard back from any yet. Just finished an interview with Berkeley today. Lots of data questions and I don't think I did very well.
Hope you the best of the luck!

Thank you. Best of luck to you on Berkeley, as it's a very good program (probably on par with CMU's MSCF and MIT's MSF as well). I would be happy to get an interview with CMU's MSCF and some PhD programs man...The thing is I'm far more ambitious than the current reality, so I consider the current result sub-par. It's all about how we adjust our expectation, at the end of the day

Sorry, I'm kind of late and I am not sure if the "not invited to interview" e-mails were sent out.. But I received an interview last Friday 2/3 and there were only 3 slots available on 2/21. Best of luck to all of you interviewing and to everyone else as well.
P.S. is the fact that I received my interview so late mean anything about my application (considering its rolling and stuff)?

No, they've posted in admissions blog that the order of invitations has nothing to do with the power of your application. Good luck !

Yes I did but I know others who didn't. Also I can't verify from my application that my essay submitted so I don't know what exactly happened
What do you mean by an extra optional essay? What was written in the email?
To submit an extra optional essay via a link that was provided in the interview reminder email. Yes it was written in the email.

Not sure how true that is, a friend of mine got a 30k fellowship and didn't get asked to do an additional essay

I've always argued that they need to increase the scaling on the objective measures i.e. normalize undergraduate GPAs and increase scale on GRE, especially quant portion - I think in their view, the quantifiable portions of your application, once you pass a certain bar, make you equally qualified as everyone else and the rest is down to "fit". But yeah, I feel your pain, I had similar experience for undergrad admission and wish you the best on your other apps.
