How long does it take for them to decide on an interview once complete? A little dissapointed I didn't get an auto invite like so many other people on here have. For those that didn't get an auto invite, how long was it between being complete and being an offered an interview. Also, did they contact you by mail, phone, email??

It took a week back in August. That was by email.
 
Usually email & decision w/in 10-14 days...unless the Dean is out of town then you will unfortunately have to wait.

It took me about 3 weeks since being complete, and it was by email. I got my invite last week.
