not invited. :( .

What does this even mean?

"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. If your interview status should change, our office will notify you directly."

Are our applications still open for consideration?

Same Here :(

I was also wondering the same thing. I think they will reevaluate our profiles again after these interviews are done and can invite us for interview in some later stage.

Hey,
Sorry for the non-Invite. I know how much it sucks.

What this message means is you will get your final decision on Dec 15th, whether you have been waitlisted or dinged. Or, like it happened with me, but I have not heard this happening with anyone else, I got the invite 10 days after the interview decision date. I interviewed and got in, but I would still not think this would happen too much (I sincerely hope I am wrong and you guys get invited)

Hope that helps. PM me for any specific questions.

What Anup says here is correct. I don't want to give anyone false hope but not being invited to interview is NOT the end of the process. There is still a chance that you be invited to interview a later date if you get waitlisted and pushed into the next round. Last year, I applied in R2-- did not get an invite on the interview invitation release date, but later got waitlisted with an interview invitation R3.

Regardless, keep your heads up. Not hearing good news is tough but it the end it all works out. This is coming from someone who has been rejected multiple times from the same schools so I feel all of your pain!

Got my email invitation with a link to schedule my interview. The system wasn't letting me in for a while, but eventually I was able to access it and reserve a time.

Was the link sent to people who were to set up a Skype interview? I didn't get any link but only the email that it has been fixed. I think the fixed email has been sent to everyone.

I got an email saying the team champion for my location will get in touch with me to set up an alumni interview in my area.

Once you have the invite is it a good idea to schedule your interview earlier than later? I want to give myself as much time as possible but I'm not sure if interviewing at a later date can hurt my chances of admission. Do they review the interview notes after all the interviews are done or they decide on admissions as interviews are conducted?

I would presume that they take call on the final list of acceptance post the reception of all interviews. They donot follow a rolling admission process and release their decisions on a specific date. That leaves little room to assume that they would decide as and when they receive individual feedback on the interviews.

So you're saying someone who interviews on 20th Nov has no advantage over someone who interviews on 30th Nov? I would like to delay as much as possible and give the interview my best shot. But I'm not sure how does buying more time looks to the interviewer and the admission committee.

As i said, i doubt there would be any substantial advantage that applicants who interview early would get, presuming you are within the range. Of course, if most interviews are conducted within the next 15 days and one delays it substantially, say to the 1st week of december, then who knows, it may have a different result. I think week or week and a half post the invitation should not make a difference. Perhaps someone who has been through the process, likely in ED, would clarify further.

Yes can someone who has been through the process shed some light on it please?

Also I'll be interviewed over Skype with an admissions ambassador. Is it a good idea to keep in contact with the ambassador or should I just send my resume and wait for the interview date to contact my interviewer again?

The email said that the interview team captain will get in touch with Me over the next few business days to schedule an interview with my chosen location (Mumbai). Which means I've to wait and can't schedule it myself till then. Right?

Yes the school will attach you with an alumni or an ambassador to mutually decide on a date and time convenient for both.

I do not believe there is any negative impact of you choosing a date that is best for you. After all, adcom wants you to do your best in the interview. Compared to EA round, adcom has more days to review your application after the interview window is complete. Also, keep in mind that EA deposit deadline is 02-Dec. This means they will do review of the class profile after 02-Dec and then review your application to make a decision. So I would suggest you guys take the time necessary to do your best in the interview!
