about 30% on admissions411 reported interview invites and almost 40% on here reported the invite which is in line with the %age Michigan is rumored to invite. I believe no Indian applicants have been invited yet. or have they ? this is surely making me anxious. i haven't even got the application complete email yet. Any Indian applicants in a different boat ?

What was the interview percentage for R1 at admissions 411?? I am petty sure it was about 70%. Around here it was pretty high as well- we had a 70% admit rate! so dont let the data get to you :)

pandey,
My application is complete but no interview invite yet.
I don't think you should worry at this point. Most of the R1 internationals got their invites pretty late and managed to get admits. NC submitted his app around 2 weeks before deadline and got his interview invite towards the end.

Children and GBR ?

Folks with spouse and children, are you bringing your children to the
GBR. I saw on the GBR web site that most of the events planned for the
weekend are not kid-friendly. So, what are you planning to do? Are you
planning to leave your kids at home with someone. I personally dont
have that option. Any ideas?

dosa, what are you planning to do?

A daughter. But I am sorry to say, we will not be able to make it to the GBR :(

oh ok .. that being the case i would think that they would want all interviews to be done by feb 15-20. which makes me think that they would probably send couple more waves of interview invites. Lets hope we get one this week.

Just mass e-mail. But there are some interesting points. The Ross admissions office is very satisfied with the results of Round 1. GMAT average is gone up to 709 and 5y average WE. I am afraid that R2 will be more competitive.

I dont think that they are going to increase the class size. Another news is that Ross is only 27th in new FT 2008 ranking.

It's just one of those mass-mails with nothing significant to the applicant. Makes your heart skip a beat when you see it in your inbox though....

Waiting sucks! :drunk
