It means I am not alone. Now I am in doubt whether they are calling based on GRE score or not ? Are they preferring GMAt over GRE, then they should clearly mention. Or they will seperately call GRe guys?I have chosen Mumbai as my interview location
By which date should I expect that if I don't get call means I am rejected?

Mumbai interviews are scheduled for 4-5 January. So expect an interview invite 1 week before.

Hello people,
Any invites recently? With R3 applications around the corner, can we assume it's a done deal?

I think we should wait till weekend.
There have been no updates of an invite this week.i think those who are left to be shortlisted will receive a campus interview invite. Badly hoping for a weekend good news even though the chances look slim now. I believe that unless a denial mail is sent we are still somewhere in the game.

I guess not hearing till now is a rejection.

Logged in to my application and there's a very telling line:



If we haven't received the invite emails till now, we should be ready for rejection emails.

Okay so I have been seeing this message ever since my application was verified to be complete. So does this mean it wasn't considered?

That will be an incorrect assumption.

The telling line for me is: "Further update will be available if shortlisted". I had chosen my interview location as Delhi where interviews have already been conducted. So, it's fair to assume I've been dinged.

Hmmmm....they've not rolled out any invites since the 18th. Most of the invites were rolled out in 2 waves 16th and the 18th for even 4/5. So unless it doesn't go well for a bunch of people, I think it's a done deal too.

Not sure how many have been invited to interview and how many are going to be shortlisted as a part of R2

This is also an incorrect assumption.

The fact that after 20th there has been no invites mean that there could be more.

Also, the admission committee itself said that few invites are more to come.

There could be possibility of more invites with R3.

You can't take word to word from isb.
Last year, suddenly r3 was introduced and many interviews were held even after deadline.

This is true for nus too. So till the mail comes, there is no point speculating. It just burns calories and generates anxiety.

And in any case, life is not short. There are many chances and every year to improvise.

So I believe let's enjoy the holidays and let the adcom do the job.

Fair enough.

I received an email from the Admissions Director today stating that my application is incomplete and that I should finish it before R3 deadline. :lol:

Wonder if there is an issue with their systems?

EDIT: My information was mistakenly shared with him for the email. :lol:

What I love is how swift they are with emails! Really impressive stuff.
