"The committee's file review indicates that they are interested in your candidacy. However, due to the increase in the applicant pool this year, it is clear we MAY be unable to interview all the candidates at your priority score. If we do find that we are able to grant an interview you will be notified by e-mail. "
 
Pre-interview hold. No interview at this time, but you still may get one later.

It means they may be able to offer you an interview.
 
I think its a good e-mail. If not mitaken, everyone who got this version of the e-mail got interviews. I received this one, and then a day later received the actual interview. Just be patient and good luck.

Same for me, I received an interview about 10 days after receiving that status update.
 
Did anyone who got the following message get an invite yet?

The committee's file review indicates that they would like to consider your file further. We are now in the process of scheduling interviews and will continue to do so through February. Unfortunately, the committee indicates interest in far more candidates than we are able to interview. Since we are dependent on the Committee member's schedules for interview spaces, we are unable to predict when or if we will be able to schedule you this year. Please continue to check this site to learn when further action has been taken.

Thanks

4800 applicants
2400 receive secondaries
1500 deemed acceptable for interviews
~600 receive interviews
300 offers are made
184 matriculate

So you may or may not receive an interview. Seeing how it is still early in the process, you're chances of receiving one are good. 🙂

Thanks, I hope I didn't come across as being harsh - That was not my intention. Best of luck.

I would think that they'd give out much more acceptances to make sure that they have 184 class or do a lot of people end up on waitlist and get in?

That's a good question... one that I do not have the answer too. I would pressume that quite a few ppl get accepted off of the waitlist. Just my guess...

When I was interviewing someone asked if the 300 acceptances includes people getting in off the waitlist. It does.
