I applied a day before the R1 deadline but I haven't received an interview email at this point. Does this mean rejection?

Congrats Itsnotovertillits700, rkunz4058 and good luck bhaskarpandey, Anujkumar2401 and all others who are still waiting for their invites. Hope you guys too will hear from the school soon.

At this point I think anyone of you should take ownership of this discussion? I won't be visiting it as frequently as you guys would be doing so feel free to message me if anyone of you want to become Threadmaster for Melbourne.

So now that it is post Nov 13 in Melbourne, should we assume the remaining applicants are rejected? Or has anyone received an email for the reject? Do they send one?

Just received a rejection mail. In hindsight, I should have put a bit more effort in the application essays.

No, they didn't mention anything. Just that they cannot offer interviews to all the qualified candidates.
