Same with me. The online portal just says "submitted". Are you on the same boat?

Sorry for those who got rejected.

I had an interview this wk, and they did mention that they had double the amount of candidates this year, which made the decisions even tougher this time.

Also mentioned that they will calibrate early March for the final result. Good luck to those still in the game!

Thanks for the update. Can you throw some light on what lines was the interview on? Was it behavioral or related to essays or else

It was more of a conversation more than an interview. Interviewer was asking questions with respect to my experience to get to know me better. why SDM was asked, which was mentioned in previous info sessions.

I'm not entirely sure, I am going to reach out to the program head tomorrow to request more information on the process. I can keep you updated if you'd like.
