Are there any options to interview offcampus within the US, besides San Francisco?

I am also an R1 applicant who received the notification that I am not invited to interview. But the thing is that I initiated an on-campus interview in Oct. Are there any applicant in the same position here?

Just received a mail to check status on SISS portal. Got dinged. That's the end of my journey .. Good luck to everyone else..

"....We regret to inform you that you have not been invited to interview; please note that this is not a final decision on your application. The interview invitation process is highly selective. It is possible that you would be invited to interview at a later stage in this round or in future rounds...." Is this a ding?

I don't think it's a ding. The language ends a bit on the positive note. There is a possibility that your app will be reviewed along with those submitted in R2 and R3.
Don't lose hope mate. But at the same time, work on your R2 apps. All the very best..

For all those souls waiting eagerly for the interview shortlist, I made this countdown clock.
Note to self - Gotta talk to mods regarding posting widget codes.. :think:

Just saw the email. Looks like they wanted to beat the clock

Congrats to all who received invites!

Lesson learnt, always put a disclaimer on the countdown clocks, "The schools tend outsmart those who think that they are smart to create a decision countdown clock. Follow the clock at your own peril. :twisted:

"

I think the date of Nov 20 was indicative only (their email says that it take them 3 days to send decision to all candidates), though the time was correct. Decisions started going out around 1300 (EST). It appears that they care enough to manually upload decision for each candidate.

I think you should talk to them and clear the confusion.

Same here. We'll just have to wait another month for the final decision!

I spoke with the Fuqua tech team. Sounds like they're working to resolve the issue.
