This program receives (as per wiki) 65,000 applications and only 42 are selected. Kudos if that's the case - well done!

thank you! did your AO say when she'd get back to you with interviewer details?

Live in Bangladesh but will be in Paris for interviews because of a family thing

Okay do you think it'd be cool if we sent our interviewers a resume that's different to the one we attached to our application? I just reformatted mine to the Harvard format and it looks a billion times better.

I'm pondering retaking the GMAT in Paris. Don't wanna risk getting waitlisted!

Congrats ! We might be co-workers

Hello everyone. First post here

I've been a long time lurker but I thought I'd take the courage to do my first post as I also today received an invitation for R2. While the process is far from over, I definitely wouldn't have made it this far without the help from the gmatclubbers.

I'm a aussie (asian background) and received the invitation from JM's cover.

I do have a offer from Melbourne with significant $$$ so it looks like I need to now turn that down unfortunately

And as I type, I just received my invite to interview.

Profile: Indian, 28, based in New Delhi. Engineer with sub-par GPA; 2 years at a clean-tech startup and 4 years doing strategic planning and BD for top MNC energy firm. GMAT 750 (2 attempts).

bombaypundit, I've had my fair share of the feelings you conveyed above. My biggest learning from this process and multiple dings is to trust myself and remember that there is NOTHING wrong with me. Good luck with your MBA!

Hello everyone,

Just got a ding from JM this morning.
Can't see what went wrong.
Any ideas ?

Didn't apply anything else as i was quite confident. Frustrated and confused:(.

Hope someone can help point out where i went wrong.

thanks in advance.

Congrats to all who have received their invites. Mine just came an hour back from IR.

Based in Mumbai, India

Wow, that is a solid profile ! Maybe you'd want to show your essays to a professional and find out what went wrong. Thats pretty disappointing, 750 is a great score and your other credentials seem great as well. Sorry for the ding
Apply again for September'17 ?

Hey Communeer,

this is really weird, you profile seems very good. I think that there could be a problem with your essays, which must be flawless. I would not give up on the dream and apply again next time. Wish you good luck!
