Hello all. I hate to be the bearer of potentially bad news, but it sounds like there won't be any more invites sent out for R1.

From the Admissions Director's blog (published on the 19th):
"The team just finalized the first round of application reviews, and sent out interview invitations this week"

Sounds like they're done with sending out their batch of invites.

Also, from the application receipt confirmation email:
"If you are not invited to interview during the week of October 18, the admissions team will do an additional review of your application..on Dec 8 you will receive either a waitlist or a deny decision"

This seems to be the reason why there aren't any Dings reported (and probably won't be, until December)

Alums/Mods, can anyone confirm whether there's usually only a single batch of invites?

Did anyone receive invitations now? One of the student ambassador mentioned that "I am not fully updated on this year’s schedule but during my time invitations spread out for more than 24 hrs"

Hi I’m not sure. While it appears as though all of the invites have been sent out, in previous years they were sent out in multiple batches as Nikhil had suggested

Congrats to all those who received the invites. Can you confirm if you have submitted the apps on last date or way before?

That's reassuring, thanks for the update! I did not know that Nikhil mentioned that.

Also, some statistical data that might help people waiting for invites:

Last year's R1 decision tracker shows around 75 invites, while this year's R1 tracker indicates around 30. While this might simply be due to less people reporting their decisions on GMATClub, perhaps it's a sign that more are yet to come.

Good luck to everyone, including myself!

shaunak075 Totally understand! However, unfortunately I don’t think there would be any communication from Ross until Decision Day should one not be invited to interview

Congratulations to everyone who received the invite. For those who haven’t yet, I am sure good things are in place for you guys.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... Q/viewform Ross is a very culture fit school. It’s always good to have some student or alum or professor refer you. It helps strengthen your profile. Incase you haven’t got a chance to get referred, you may use the above link and reach out to people you have contacted.
