Official Confirmation:

First round of interview calls are out and they will keep coming. Keep a tab on your Status on the application portal. 

The 'Early Decision Category' means that candidates whose application is complete (with recommendations) and if ISB 'really' likes their profile, they may be called early for the interview and will get an admit decision by November 10th, while others continue to interview till November end for the December 5th admit decision

All the best to everyone!

Hi,

Though I find your description enticing, but I'd like to know the source of this information. Thanks ! :wink:
I submitted mine on 11 Sep

Anyone know of any EEO applicant who has already received an interview call in the early decision category?

And those who have got the interview mails, if you could let us know your city that would be helpful too :)

I applied on the 14th and received an invite for interview on 17th under early decision category. Since I am not in country looks like I will have to go with the skype option. Could anyone let me know about the disadvantages of a skype interview if any? Do they still ask the one word essay question over skype? Thanks.

Yeah I got this as well. What does this even mean? I think every candidate gets this? Or is this to indicate that they are reviewing our file now?

No disadvantage, as such. I took my EEO interview over Skype. Went smooth and they didn't ask me any one word essay.

Hi Arpit,

Did you get a documents verification mail prior to invite mail?

I am assuming that you have submitted your application on 14th October.
