Hi,
I just started reading this thread. Have the interview invites for R2 started rolling out?
I am an international applicant and did not self-initiate an on-campus interview. Does that lessen my chances of getting an invite/admit?
Thanks.
Hello, welcome to the forum!
As an international applicant myself, thought I'd might help you out.
I'm from Brazil, also did not schedule a self-initiated interview on campus (I could not travel to Hanover in time), and got my invite on January 28th. I believe this shows that you can definately move forward without a self-initiated interview. Having said that, I believe that by "Round 2" you mean the January round, right? I've seen in this forum people getting invited to interview by the school in different dates for the January round, which leads me to believe that Tuck does not send all invites neither on one particular day, nor in waves. But that is just a guess.
I do not think that you should lose hope if you didn't get an invite thus far. There's still one month to go before the decision release, so there is time. But regardless of what might happen, I don't think that as an international applicant, not going to Hanover automatically kills all your chances. If (and may God forbid!) you are unsuccessful, it will probably have more to do with you application, than the fact of not going to Hanover.
Best of luck to you!
