Is it less applicants, or people actually doing more work at work. Last year we had 54 Pages for Ross at this time and this year 37.

Ok, so it's official. I've given up hoping for that interview invite. How terribly annoying.

I'm about to do the same. I thought Ross would be perfect for what I want to do, but I guess they didn't think so. Oh well.

Why is everyone giving up already? Is it that bad to have not received the invite yet?

I just don't want to get my hopes up, just to get hurt again later on. It's like at first, they email me, they want to meet me, they're interested in getting to know me, but when I actually decide to give them a chance and give them what they want, I stop hearing from them. I email them, I call them, and all I get is I'll call you, but they never do. I've been hurt too many times before, so I want to take it slow this time. Oh wait, what are we talking about again?

I don't think there are fewer applicants.

As for me, I've been slacking at work for too long now. It looks like I'm gonna have to stay back in the company for one more year. And since the appraisals are going on( I was pulled up a couple of times before), I thought I'd salvage whatever that is left

I dont think its time to freak out or give up yet. If you look at the forums from last year, people were getting invites in the middle of February.

I got a invite on Wednesday. I have not visited the campus and wish to do the on-campus interview, but it seems not many airlines have a direct route to Detroit, so I am afraid getting there might be a challenge and will impact my interview performance.

On the otherhand, I am concerned that if I interview off-site I might come across as not interested in the program. If only I can spare another vacation day to visit the school and then do the interview off-site...

Ross is actually one of my target schools as they seem to have very good relationships with all the consulting companies.

Anybody have any ideas?

Have you gotten your interview invite for this year Gobruins?

Nope, which would be shocking if I didn't actually... since I got an interview last year, and I completed a masters, got way more responsibilities at work, wrote a 2 page coverletter, and rewrote all but 1 of my essays.... I mean how much can a reapp really do?

Hey GoBruins
Why didn't you apply in R1, just curious. By the way you shouldnt worry your profile is very strong....at least much stronger than mine... you will be fine.

To all those giving up hope of an interview invite, I posted my story a few pages back. I submitted a day before the due date for R1 (I think 10/9??), got an interview on 11/23(!!!), had to scramble for an on-site interview date, did not have an "obviously awesome" interview and was admitted (with lots and lots of promotional emails right up to admission). They also encouraged me to supplement my application to update information that had been declared on my initial submission (maths classes that I was taking that I later received marks for).

So you know what? I feel like I may have been the last person asked to interview for Round 1 and I still got in. Juxtapose this against my situation at UCLA, where I was quickly asked to interview (right on schedule), had a really good interview and was subsequently waitlisted (and I'm in in-state for them).

Don't give up hope!

You guys are freaking out too much. From my R1 experience, I can say that its way too early. There will be many more invites in the coming days. In fact in R1 some people who themselves believed that their essays were crap got an invite. You all will get invites in 1-2 weeks.

By the way if you just go back in the thread and see there were so many invites throughout November. This is really too early to freak out. So RELAX! By the way I would like to know what other schools you guys applied to....if nothing else lets kill time.

Yeah, in a post on this very thread I described my application as "by far the worst submission I made" but they sent me an interview invite a few days ago. Which immediately made me second-guess what I sent to every other school. So there is hope yet.

My only two applications are to Duke and Michigan. I'm trying to actually focus on work for a bit now. My productivity has dropped to ridiculous amounts over the last month and a half!

Sorry... didn't mean to sound freaked out; I considered myself anxious until I read that other folks were already giving up hope, which makes me feel less anxious by comparison.

What proportion of the R2 interview invitations do folks think have already gone out? Around half?

Personally I don't think the bulk of invites have gone out. Anyway, the good thing for me is that atleast I know they have reached my application. I got an email asking me to resend my GMAT scores. So now its just fingers crossed and hope for some news.
