What are the ideal timelines in your opinion, especially being from an over represented pool. I am afraid I haven’t started my application, and would love to collaborate and share thoughts on school, essays etc..

Having attended multiple sessions & spoken to students, I believe the time is when our application is prepared to the best be it in early decision or regular decision

That being said, targeting end of August would be preferable for candidates coming from OR pool

sure, you can ping me anytime

Would you possibly mind telling us about your application details?
When did you apply, and have you already received any updates like the interview invite?

Thank you for the valuable info in advance!

Per ClearAdmit, it seems like CBS gives interview invite to ED applicants who submitted their applications during the June to early August window within 3 weeks on average post submittion. If the thoery holds up, you should get one next week. Good luck!
