Thanks, I am improving my GMAT before submitting R2 app. Just want to know my chance with current GMAT score

Did anyone from India receive interview invites yet?

I saw a few invites from India on Clearadmit.

Do you think they’ll be rolling out more or are they mostly done with the interview invites. As per the website they’d be rolling out the majority of invites within October itself!

I am in the process of completing my Round 2 application for the MBA program starting in August 2024. I noticed there's an option to also be considered for the January 2024 entry. Specifically, if I am not selected for the August entry, will my application automatically be considered for the January 2024 entry, or would I need to submit a separate application for that term? Thank you
