Email was sent today, does not appear to be any supplemental questions
 
I submitted on June 3rd. I'm unsure if the interview waitlist is a good or bad sign, but we will see once they start sending out interviews.
means they're holding off on sending you an interview for the time being, you could hear back later in the cycle on whether or not you got one. Still pretty early, so I wouldn't stress too much about this atm.
 
Just received a deny decision today. So they are actively reviewing applications and if you see your statement change to interview waitlist that's a good thing

I am sorry to hear that… may I ask when you submitted the app on aadsas and supp app?

I submitted my app on June 7th with verification and paid and got confirmation my application was complete with supp on July 1st. So it seems they are reviewing applications that are finalized within 10 days

On my Midwestern Student Portal, it says they are still waiting on a second LOR, even though I called and told them all my letters were in a committee letter, and they said that was normal and it would change soon. It's been a week and a half, my status on AADSAS still shows "None". Should I be worried?

Yes I understand that but they send information to AADSAS so they can update it. Also, on their own website it says they are waiting on a 2nd LOR
I hope your committee letter gets validated soon. What I'm saying is MWU does not send any info back to AADSAS regarding status. It will always say none, even after you get an interview.
 
i was selected for an interview today :]

Does that mean you interview takes place on both those days? Or you can choose?
 
If you were selected for an interview but there are no available dates, how long does it take for more dates to come out? I checked within 15-20 minutes, and they were all full.

Grateful that I got an interview, but sucks that it's post-December. Would you guys know if that's all there's available to all the applicants that got an interview or is it something special to my application (them keeping me in their back pocket after first wave of acceptances in December)?

Doesn't that feel fast, like is it a glitch? Or did they just read and automatically deny me

Im assuming I just got lucky and some people cancelled when I got notified. There were quite a few September dates to choose from (from what i remember)

I got an interview invite a few days ago as well, and there were many September and October interview date options.
