If you are "on hold" they are not planning on interviewing you at the moment, and perhaps not at all. An ITA is not going to change that.
 
Are we expecting Oct 15 decision release for those who interviewed very early Sept?

How early? I interviewed 9/10.

Judging from last year’s thread, it seemed like the first notified were late-August/early-September interviewees. Fingers crossed!

Do you happen to know how many dates in August there were? I interviewed on 9/12. I know that there was 9/5 and 9/6

I think there were two? Not a ton for sure. Could be wrong, idk. I was assigned 9/10 and didn't think to ask for an earlier date.

Hopefully we're pleasantly surprised and there's some good news tomorrow for all of us!

Ugh, with the ~30% post-interview A rate, I'm just bracing for a WL. Especially being a lower stat applicant :(

The only thing keeping me optimistic is us being early interviewees haha

I interviewed on 8/30 but not sure if there was an earlier date than that. Hoping that we hear some good news tomorrow!

Interviewed on 9/12 as well, feeling the same thing! Really hoping for a surprise tomorrow! But not getting my hopes up.

Edit: 9/13, my bad :p

For those who interviewed early (August/early-September), I looked back at last year's thread:

Looks like GW doesn't necessarily send out decisions for all applicants who interviewed at a certain date at the same time. Last year, there was a late-August interviewee who didn't hear back until October 22-ish. Was hoping to receive a decision this week, but we might need to huddle up and buckle down for a little while longer :)

Thanks for looking at last year's thread! From your searching, did it seem like decisions started coming out roughly every week after the 15th?

It looked like that for the first two weeks post-October 15th (decisions coming out every subsequent Monday since the 15th fell on a Monday) before people apparently started getting decisions on Wednesdays as well.

I have no idea if there's any rhyme or reason to the schedule they release decisions, but I think it's a good bet that many of those who interviewed early-mid September (I was 9/10) should hear back by sometime next week. Someone who interviewed 9/6 this year already received an acceptance, and 9/10 was the next subsequent interview day.

So, who knows :shrug:

I can confirm this. Did all the same searching in last years thread earlier today. Most early-mid September interviews who posted on SDN heard back within two weeks after 10/15.

Anyone hear back today about any acceptances/waitlists?
Nada. I'm expecting decisions to be released on a weekly basis for the next few weeks, at least that's what last years thread seemed to show.
