rgupta, thanks for your advice. Congrats on the admit. Unfortunately, at this moment, I won't be able to fly to the States. I just hope I get to interview with an alum in India. I checked the FAQ on the website and the answer to "I was waitlisted for interview. What should I do?" goes something like this:
"You will receive an e-mailed invitation to participate in the next round of interviews in the location you pre-selected on your application. No action is needed on your part until you receive the e-mail. The admissions committee will review your completed interview evaluation as a part of your total application and will provide an updated decision on your application after the next admissions deadline. Please refer to our Web site for details on the interview invitation and decision release timeline."
So I'm not sure if I should be sending an update. Either way, I really don't have much to share as an update. I accepted the waitlist decision yesterday. Off-campus interviews for Round 2 are set to be held on 17-18 and 24-25 Feb. By when do you think I should email the admissions office if I dn't hear back from them on the schedule? Also, anyone else from Round 1 who was denied then but has been invited to interview now?
One chance makes sense, I say if you do not here bythe 17th I would get in touch with the school knowing you can only interview the following week based on the schedule. Else there is probably no real need. Good Luck Again!
