I am in the same boat; hence, I can understand your plight. It is quite frustrating to see the same old status - "Under Review" every time I log in. Hope it works out for all of us.

Cheers,

aanchalsinha and 23may1984,

Its good to see that there are people with the same status, god knows when will this wait come to an end :)

I think there are only three days left now, rather two - Thursday and Friday.

Any chance we might not hear from the school by the deadline ? if yes, what does this silence indicate :)

When did u guys submit your apps - i submitted on 15th Nov., i mean just trying to co-relate dates.

Cheers

Versatile,

I second your thought completely. I submitted around the same time as you did – 1 or 2 days before the deadline. I really don’t know what to make of all this. I mean earlier I had sort of written off my chances of getting an interview call from HKUST, but then I came across you guys. So there is a slim chance that this might be a procedural delay. The bright side is that we’ll know soon; I hope this doesn’t drag beyond the 13th….

Cheers!!!

Guys,

I am so relieved to learn that there are others in the same position. I submitted the application on the 14th of Nov. I am trying not to think about it too much as it might affect my mental sanity!! But 23May1984, your right, the brighter side is that we should here soon. Well it's Thursday here already so we have time till tomorrow. I wonder what happens if we don't hear from the school at all?! Anyways good luck to all and hope the wait and hardwork pays off!

here's a question to all those who've done an interview on skype before....
It would be great if we could go over skype "etiquette" :)
Thanks

Aanchal and Versatile - I spoke with someone in the HKUST Admissions team. The good news is that we’ll come to know about the decision today - late evening I guess. Hope this helps. Best of luck! Cheers!

Didn't make it either. I do find it rather frustrating that they made us wait for 2 months!

Anyhoo, good luck! Keep hope alive :)

Can't wait for my R2 result. Hopefully, they will start sending them out soon after the Chinese New Year next week and I can finally start to concentrate on my work!!

It seems (from messages above) that 2 guys from R2 have already received answered, been interviewed, and get admitted.)

I hope it's not a bad sign as we get more and more closer from 10 feb :'(

I don't think so - only one person got admit in R2. The rest are R1. R2 results will start rolling out only after CNY. :-D

R2 applicant, had interview via Skype.

I was looking at some old threads and it seems that sometimes there is a "career consultation" interview after the first two.

Does anyone have experience with this?

I do Have the career consultation, even though I still don't have any reply from Adcom '(
In my view it is not linked with the admission process.
Actually they had already proposed me that service juste after the MBA fair in my town last october, I didn't even applied nor created my account on HKUST website :)

To Aviroop :
Well, 1-2 people from this forum and having applied in R2 have already received answers, (it means a lot people, considering not only people from this forum) so it's clear for me that HKUST did not wait CNY or 10 february to send interviews or replys or ding.
The process has started on 16 december.

The school is closed from 23 -25 January. I know that HKUST sent out interview invites for R1 applicants on 13th Jan (R1 deadline day). Those candidates are still interviewing or will have their interviews. So R1 process is still continuing.

I don't think that R2 activity has picked up much. It is not reflected among the current admits sent out as approximately only 1/3 of the class spots have been filled.

The R2 interview/admit process will pick up speed once CNY is over - I believe that is what I said in my previous post.

I dont think those numbers could be computed until the entire class is finalized. I am guessing, it should similar to last year.

Did anyone (apart from ones already mentioned here) from Round 2 got an interview invite recently ? Its getting uncomfortably close to the decision date now.
