Interview invite before completing 2ndary addendum?

Hi everyone! I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I completed my UIC secondary at the end of August, and I received their secondary addendum in mid-October. I have not completed the addendum yet, but I just received an interview invite today! Of course, I'm extremely excited because it's actually my first interview (so all you out there whose files have been completed since end of August and beginning of September, like moi, keep your patience! You just may get an interview invite when you least expect it), but I was confused, because how could they want to interview me before receiving the addendum (basically, my file isn't complete yet)?

Well, my question is, should I quickly complete the addendum and send it in before I interview? I think the answer is "yes," so the Committee has more material on which it can review me, but I was wondering what all of you thought or if anyone else has been in the same situation. Or... should I call the admissions office and express my confusion, or would that seem very irresponsible and I should just get this addendum in ASAP?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

I also received an invite before completing the addendum. I ended up going to the interview before completing it (just didn't have time). We were told that the committee would be deciding on us the following week, so I quickly did the essays and over-nighted them to arrive the day before the committee met. Luckily it worked out and I was accepted. I would suggest trying to get them in before the interview, though. The interviews are closed file except for your AMCAS essay and the addendum essays, so it would let the interviewers know a bit more about you. Good luck! 🙂
