How long to hear back from MSF programs after interviews?

I applied to a program at the end of January, and interviewed a week later. Guy told me that I'd hear at most 3-4 weeks, but likely sooner. But I haven't heard and I check the website every day, heck every hour or so. Another school, I applied to in Mid January, but they give a "notification date" on their website. I also got an interview with them. How long will I be kept in the dark? Is it OK to call, or do I risk scuttling the application?

It depends on the school. I was accepted by a couple of programs a week after the interview. I have heard people waiting for about 2-3 weeks.

I would email and ask about the stage of their process because I am sure you have been accepted to other programs.

does a long wait or short wait mean anything (acceptance or rejection)? I did have some low gmat scores, tho I'm a domestic student.
 

Honestly just depends by program. Do you have 100% of your letters of rec/all paperwork in? I was missing one recommendation and two days after it got submitted I got an acceptance call.

Maximum effort.
 

ok still haven't heard back, its been more than a month since both interviews, should I call or email to follow up? This is really getting to me.

 

ok can someone please tell me if I should follow up or not on these interviews? I did get a 570 on my GMAT but I still got interviewed (41V 28Q). Thanks! I'm dying inside everyday waiting for the emails.
