Congrats!! do you mind sharing what interview options they give you?
Sure thing. The ones I saw were Tu, Wed, Thurs the first 3 weeks of October. I scheduled mine then so I didn't get a chance to check later dates, apologies.

Yeah I was a little surprised! I submitted 7/26 but my committee letter didn't arrive until 8/15 so that might also be it.
Do you happen to go to Cambridge, MA's flagship university (no not the one for tech nerds ;))?
 
Ditto....the late committee letter just pains me lol I got mine in on 8/12. It just delays the review of our apps by weeks and its annoying.
man, thank god I didn't go to Harvard

Adcoms are acutely aware that schools, especially Harvard, might have later committee letters. I would be shocked if it negatively impacted your app in any way. There is already enough cultural capital in being from from Harvard alone

I 100% agree.
 
I know my application won't be hurt because of it (quite the opposite), but my impatience and neuroticism combine to make the wait brutal lol
SAME! Mine wasn't submitted until 8/15 and every day afterwards I've been obsessively checking my email lol Why make us submit our letters in April if they're going to hold on to them for months?

Luckily I have work that distracts me, but I still somehow manage to check my email like 20+ times/day and its become quite an annoyance lol

Not that school but my school is similar (one of the little brothers that is all about #420blazeit). Up in our face about our AMCAS draft due in March and everything, but letters aren't finished until the end of August.

Did you bypass the committee letter process to get your app in earlier?

Nope. I think it would still be application suicide for us. I played the game, jumped through all the hoops and kissed up. I think they stratify our applications by AMCAS submit date and competitiveness, so I luckily made it into the first round of letters in mid-July.

Ah, my school purposefully doesn't do that. They submit all of the letters within a few days of each other to prevent unfair advantages for certain people. I like that it does that, I just wish it did it about a month earlier

Likewise! Complete email 7/3. I don't know if they are going in order though. Someone with a 7/1 complete date got an interview last week
