Indian Applicant. First Interview Invite ever. *phew*
Saw it first thing in the morning.
Someone pinch me to tell me that this is real.

I applied at the last minute of the deadline. Literally.
Got the mail at 4:30PM CT Wed/4:00AM IST Thu.

Will be applying for the off-campus interview in India.

Couple of queries from anyone who has a good idea about it:-

1. The admission rate for interviewed candidates?
2. Does interviewing off-campus affect your selection negatively (even slightly)?
3. What proportion of candidates does Booth interview?

Ahhh, congratulations! I don't think it matters where you interview really especially since they know how expensive and time intensive it is to travel all the way to Chicago from India. Also, I think Booth invites close to about 50% of applicants for the interview and while I don't have an exact figure for the admission rate (it's in this thread somewhere), I know it's a lot better than most schools with a similar ranking because of Booth's yield rate.

Where in India are you based? I hope they're not done inviting Indians yet... I had a really good feeling about my Booth application! :|

Also, to everyone who received an invite to interview - presentation or essay?! :-D


Thanks a lot! This helps somewhat.

I'm based in New Delhi and I dont think invites have been sent countrywise or anything.

I had submitted essays instead of presentations and was really disappointed with my essay/overall application quality, tbh.

Hi,

Congrats to all those who got invited.

This is the second wave of interview invites and now i'm getting worried. Still expectant though.

Do we have any African applicants here ?

Congratulations to those who got invites! A quick question: what's your GMAT report status on the app? Mine is showing Awaiting. I did not send official report and could not remember whether I have submitted the unofficial or not. Is it required to submit the unofficial report?

I just got a "status change" e-mail from Booth with a link to my status page - but there's no change? What up?

Edit 1: I generally stay pretty calm and I apologize for being crass, but this is giving me the WORST case of blue balls right now!

Edit 2: To show Edit 1....

Just got the same thing. I'm assuming/hoping it's an invite but nothing is changed when I log into my app.

Congrats everyone! Nothing here yet. Boo :|

But on the bright side, I'm guessing this is it for the day which means I can finally a get a full night's sleep.
