For those of you interviewing in China - or any other country for that matter - did the interview take place in Chinese/your local language or in English from beginning to the end?

Sure.
GMAT: 760
GPA: Does not matter, not on scale of 4
Undergrad: Top Indian engineering institutes
Post grad: Top Indian management institutes
ECs: Decent, have held leadership positions in postgrad and volunteering in undergrad
Workex: 2 years in startup analytics firm (which has since become very big) + 4 years (at matriculation) in top M&A advisory house in the country with significant deal and international experience

I have spent last 4 weeks trying to find patterns and some methods to the madness of mails/calls and I could not find any. While it is easier to say, but it is not over till its over.

For those who got the call, did your status change immediately on the website?

I just received a call from an unknown number but couldn't take it as I was stuck in a meeting. No voicemail left. Probably false hope haha.

Based on Google search, some CBS acceptance calls do come from an unknown/private number. So, there is hope..
