whew... invite received! now its time to start prepping for game day

Good luck to all of you chasing a MBA. For those that got dinged, do your best to stay positive. This is my second year of apps, I know what those mails feel like, better to move on than to dwell on it..... lean on the programs that are showing you love or start finalizing your game plan for next year

Invited!...I'm based in Thailand.

But I'm curious here. So, according to the email, we must wait for them to arrange the interview?

Think yes, we have to wait until further notice. I read the email more than three times to find the website I can secure my interview slot :p
