I see an Indian got interview invite. It means the last wave was global and not us specific.

Is anyone else frustrated like me? I've been sulking since morning.

I don't think not many Indians got invites in this wave. I actually don't know anyone who did. Probably because Ross took most of their Indian share in R1. I am starting to see the total benefits of applying in R1 for international students.

Ross- I'll see you next year.

I never thought I'd be a reapplicant, but the opportunity to improve my profile is challenging enough to sustain my interests.

No one knows really. But considering that wave 1 was a one-day affair, I am unsure whether wave 2 will be any different.

Check Gmatclub Ross live decision tracker for R2 invites. 1 Indian did get in ( Good luck to him). That's why i said.

Not sure whether I should wait next year and reapply. As much as I like this college the arrival of Trump has also made me nervous.

Since you're contemplating a year off, I suggest you weigh your options on post deliverables keeping Trump in mind.
Check out this article

https://www.happyschools.com/leaked-memo ... pt-h4-ead/

Although this article is pure speculation but still it's the closest to h1b and OPT news I have yet seen.

On a side note I would actually be happy to get confirmations from colleges later as it would allow me sufficient time to watch and carefully assess Trump policies. But still it sucks not to get interview invitation huhu and I think I'm gonna sit and sulk

Good day.

I honestly do not see Trump having much of impact in my application decisions. I am not super keen on working in the US in the first place, and I'd try very hard to get work in Asia/Europe, as I feel culturally more inclined to work in those areas. However, I do see a LOT of value in education in US B Schools, kind of the inventor of management education if you will, and hence have not really looked into European universities.

I do think, however, that is is not completely unjustified to start looking out for American workers in their own country. While it hurts my chances, it seems fair to them and their tax dollars. The lottery H1B is something that I do not really like, and if you imagine a structure where H1B's are given out based on your grad school/past experience, it actually makes more sense to me than a blind lottery. I could be all wrong, as most of this is really speculative.

I agree with you on that. Trump must protect the right and will of US citizens and if for that he needs to take on a protectionist stand then so be it but then if every country starts behaving so radical then it would become very difficult.

To ensure no misuse of h1b is OK. To scrap lottery is OK. To reduce the number of expats(immigrants whatever) coming into the country is also OK but to scrap the entire program and build a wall is a bit extremist in my opinion but then he is the president. His country. His rules. Who am I to say anything. I need to follow the rules and that I will

For me working in US is paramount to my experience. All theory and no practice is useless whichever way you see it. Working in US for 2 years with varied nationals and leading projects will provide proper synergy to my b school education ...God it feels like an essay.

Ross. Tell me there is wave 3. C'mon!

I suppose they have already sent out all the invites. One friend of mine just confirmed.

Now can I just write to them asking for a feedback as to what went wrong ?

if you wish to then go ahead.
Last year soojin sent out a blog entry 3 days after wave 2. Therefore, we should get a blog this year too , monday or tuesday.
This is what she had written
"If you did not receive an invitation, it means you will be waitlisted or denied. We will not “release” applicants before our notification date (March 18) as your app will undergo further review to determine whether you will be placed on the waitlist or denied."

Therefore I personally am gonna wait till March 17 deadline and then probably get in touch with adcom to understand my weak areas.
However if you do get in touch, then please throw some light here.

Yep. GMAT is not an issue. Think luck played its part here

I think what souvik said was true. I believe Ross got all the Indians in round 1; at least the statistics of Gmatclub suggest so.

As international applicants we should've applied in round 1 rather than focussing so much on making the application perfect

Opportunity doesn't wait. Lesson learnt.
Let's see how other results pan out otherwise prepare for Re application next year.

Not really an experienced applicant, but just looking at number, doesnt it seem that interview invites are fairly less in terms of %. of applications
From gmat club stats, its less than 20%.
Everyone might not have actually updated the tracker though !

I agree R2 seems way more difficult for Indians, one of my friends had this conversation with Emory AdCoM, so its not a myth, However it was not in common knowledge till now.

The numbers don't exactly say so. See the picture.
Compare total R1+R2 and you will find only a difference of 3 percentage points, which may be because the data is not mature as some people are yet to update tracker.
Having said that, it is still undeniable that the intake for R2 was very less compared to the intake last year.

Ray of hope: Since the total number of people who got admitted are same for R1 this year and last year, It looks likely that vacancies will be created towards the end for waitlisted candidates.

Most importantly, its Liverpool 1 - 2 Wolves

People haven't updated their stats yet. A lot of people update it only when they get admits. So we will have to see how the numbers stand in March.

Hey Guys,

I am making a whatsapp group for all admitted students. You can dm me your numbers to be added. Would help us talk, discuss plans and share info. FYI, I was in class of 2018 but had to get it deferred to 2019 due to some reasons. Hope I can be of some help.

Second reminder. We need to get cracking NOW.
