Portal changed this morning to schedule an interview! I applied date of the application deadline and have been "In Review" since one week after applying, so looks like they are still rolling out interview invites. Dont lose hope!

Why was a relatively small number of Indians selected for the invitation?

Thanks great question. Don't think we have the data to answer this.

When you say small number - do you have a count handy or has someone reported the count by nationality?

We also have a long way until December when the final notification arrives.

I was just reviewing the summary on Live Wire and GMAT Club, and I don’t believe the number of invites is more than 10.

Then again no hard proof. Real numbers might differ.

Ok I see fair enough....well we also don't how what the size and nationality of the applicant pool is or what historically is the count of interview invites.

I would say that the game is not over until final notification in December...

Yes what does that mean it says initial notification on the website I am not sure what that means...does that mean they will still send interview invites between Nov 01 and Dec 01?
