As I recall, the interview invite specifically said they interview weekly on T, Th, and F and it makes sense for 1000 interviewees. This is the number posted on MSAR as well.
--> I would love to know this as well. I interviewed in early January. Hoping to hear at 8 weeks but it looks more like 12.

I was the first week of December
Did you hear back today? Did anyone else from the first week of December hear today?
Congrats! You just get the email???
I received the email about an hour ago
Interviewed 12/9--- this anticipation is killer. Good luck, everyone!!!
first time posting but I really needed to share the news and update you guys on who's hearing back.... Interviewed 12/8 and got an acceptance today!! I'm beyond excited and can't wait to go here!
Congratulations!!!! Also, based on your case, that's ~11 weeks wait time. Seems like theyre accelerating the review process, compared to some of the previous posters who waited ~13 weeks.
Thanks! I was surprised to hear back already.
I got the email around 2pm if that helps.

I received that too! I guess just seeing who's worth their time?
Yes, I just got it too. I decided to withdraw from the alternate list, I don't want to wait and I already have another acceptance that I would go to over GW. Good luck to those waiting!
Also I kinda pooped my pants when I saw an email from them - my hopes are too high
If you don't mind sharing, when did you interview?
August
