Kelley 2012 - Calling All Applicants

Hi avart,

I'm a domestic applicant, so this may not be too helpful, but I would err on the side of caution and not try to infer anything about your admission status. During my visit, I think they mentioned that they try to interview all admitted applicants. So if you haven't interviewed yet, I would assume that this is just a normal part of the process.

On the other hand, I received my university ID with my acceptance letter, and you eventually use it to create your IU e-mail!

Perhaps some of the international applicants could speak better to what this means, if anything.

I applied in R2 as well and just got my interview invite email yesterday afternoon. I'm also an international applicant, and got that same email early this morning. I'm not sure what it implies about admission status, but seeing as how R2 applicants have been receiving interview emails since last week and I just got mine, they are probably still sending them out as they review the applications.

bp14, ellinger, thanks for your response! And thanks to gmatclub, this forum is really a great resource.
Concerning that email, I think they sent it out today to all their international applicants and didn't expect confusions among us.

Hi,

long time reader, first time poster (you guys must have heard a lot about it )

Well, i applied for the Jan 5 deadline and got an interview invite somewhere around the 17th of Jan.
Was interviewed by Brad Rosenwinkel in Mumbai on the 24th. (I'm an international application - Indian,IT,Male (IIM)) :D

Interview was good, general questions like why mba, job profile etc etc. nothing out of the box.
Brad was quite warm and friendly too.

In all, a good experience and he said that the decisions would be around mid-March.

Also, i too got that iStart mail from Matthew Beatty (another friend who hasn't yet recieved an interview invite got that too. so don't dwell on it too much)

Just got my interview invite yesterday (international student). Also received the iStart email today.

Congratulations to everybody getting their invites!!! I can't wait for mid-March!!

What is the iStart?? I am a domestic applicant but I have not received that email at all....

bp14, are you round 1 or round 2 applicant??

so, everyone got that email notification!!!?

Can some international applicant confirm this!!? and also did R1 applicants (both admitted and dinged) receive this email earlier!?

hey josh84,

A friend of mine (international applicant) hasn't received it yet, while another has. So, i'd not read too much into that mail.

Yeah you are right... Just called the admission's office, they confirmed that the email was sent to all the international applicants.....

Any Indian applicants who got an interview call for R2!!?

Hey.. Sorry for the late reply.. I received my interview mail on Jan 17th..

I can see a lot of posts about the istart mail .. I received one as well. Then received another one apologizing for miscommunication in the first mail. But not bothering too much cuz a friend of mine also received both !

All those who applied in Round2 -

Has anyone got an email from 'newtoiu@indiana.edu' asking you to check your application status and submit Important documents on 'iStart'?

I'm required to submit my Financial documents; but they have not mentioned by when do I have to submit these? Is it alright to submit these after a decission is made or I need to provide these for them to make a decission?

Has anyone submitted any financial proofs? Any inputs will be helpful.

Regards,
Ali.

no, you don't need to submit any documents. I called ad com and they confirmed it.

Thanks for the quick response Josh84.

Regards,
Ali.
