Few of ppl I know received the invite despite not receiving application completion email.

Cornell has a similar interview notification deadline and I got my WL without interview decision before that date. So I think WL decisions can come on Monday. I am not sure about rejections, that might come only by Mar 14.

I saw few cases of being accepted from WL for Ross and other b schools. Is there any pattern when applicants in WL group may receive interview invites? I decide to aim lower while waiting for notifications from other schools. Thanks & all the best luck to you.

I think it will be quite random, depends on the demographics/work background of the accepted candidates who don't pay the deposit.. and the mix of applications in each round. From what I've read, acceptance from WL historically happens after Round 2 decisions.. in March/April The ones happening now might be outliers.

No, that deadline applies to people who get R2 interviews. They can’t leave you in limbo. Feb 3 they have to give you an interview, put you on the waitlist to be interviewed or ding you.

Apparently someone received an email from adcom stating that if you’ve not received an interview invite, your decision of a waitlist/ reject will be sent across by 14th March. Not sure how authentic this is.

Seems bullshit to me. AdCom barely replies like that.

Some people desperately email the Adcom. So it’s likely they got a response. Most things are self reported anyhow

Hi, I have been checking the interview scheduler every 2 hours for the past day. No more interview slots are opening up for India and I preferably don't want to schedule in another region (only US and LATAM are currently open). Should I write to them asking when additional India slots will open? Or should I just book for another region to be on the safe side. Their email mentioned that "If you do not see any open timeslots, please continue to refresh over the weekend and next week as more spots become available."

I am from India but I booked a US slot and was assigned an Alumni who works in that time zone. I preferred that to avoid clash with my work hours. Unless you are particular about getting an Indian interviewer, you can probably take other slots.
