AO is DC, not heard either. Looks like the Indian group hasn't heard yet. My AO has also been unresponsive to my emails, presuming they've received a large number of apps from India/ Asia.

Do not email them constantly....as it maybe taken as a negative aspect on your application to school...
Just friendly advice

Appreciate that. I had to email them some extra documents, but never received acknowledgement of receipt. Not emailing to ask anything else

Normaly they start sending invites 2 week before means this week is crucial..
Bt this time around many have received quick turnaround from adcoms...as you can see in the previous chats...
Also Arleeconsulting group has already shared the timeline for insead...that also shows the same approach...lets be patient now...all the best...

Also those who received their invitation can comment on the interview stage that they are in ...how was it...what were the questions with details on the debrief section at gmat club

I already emailed my interviewers but they have not replied yet. I’m thinking of waiting for a week then ask my AO? Or should I send a follow-up e-mail? The deadline set to complete these interviews is Oct 22.

Is it an option to send a message to the interviewer’s mobile number? The one provided by the AO. It’s been a week and my interviewers have not responded to my e-mail. I understand that they are busy and are only doing these interviews as volunteers. But I’m also thinking of the possibility that my e-mail went to their SPAM folder.

I was invited to interview with a 690. I believe it depends on your background/overall application though (for reference I’m American and come from a niche/unique work background)
