Guys...still have hopes

I just receive the mail

"This is to inform you that you have been invited to interview for the Ross School of Business. Due to a technical glitch in our online scheduling system, a small number of applicants did not receive the invitation, which contains a personal login to our scheduling system. We will be re-sending the invitation today. In the event that it doesn’t go through, we hope to have it resolved on Monday. In the meantime, we wanted to minimize your anxiety and let you know that you have been selected for an interview. Thank you for your patience."

Congrats, smallwo.
I still think they should send out an email to everyone and let them know not all invitations have been sent yet.

bakfed -- I don't know. What if all of those emails have been sent out at 12 EST? How do we know that THIS email will come in waves?

I don't know. But I think this is better than knowing that all invitations have gone out. Nobody would answer at the admissions office right now, even though we know that there are people working there.

Congrats Smallwo! Did you email them asking for the status on your application before you got this email? Please let us know.

Ross is making the interview process really stressful for it prospective students. There should've been more planning and co-ordination effort put into the interview process by the adcom. These kind of responses and delays from a purportedly Top 10 b-school are deplorable. If only the adcom has the faintest idea of the time, effort, money that applicants put into the entire application process for their school, it probably would act lot more responsibly. I'm not sure how long some of us have to wait inorder for their "technical glitch" to be fixed and to really know for sure if we made it to the interview or otherwise!

I totally agree the least that they could have done was to inform everyone of the glitch. Sad!

Wow, interesting GMAT score breakdown! Are you sure your Quant and Verbal aren't reversed? V50 is extremely rare

Updated roll call. I've put in a different color for all November 12th (13th, and potentially 14th and 15th) invites. Please continue to update the forum as you get replies and I'll keep a close watch on it. I want to be able to capture all data on our front page for statistical purposes and future references.

@ilboyraj: I completely agree with you. This type of so-called "technical glitch" is really not appreciated. Whether it's Ross's own fault or the online site's fault, it definitely is not well-received. Furthermore, this isn't even the first time that a "glitch" has happened. Myself included, along with several other applicants, received an email asking for transcript information. I know that I've attached my transcript onto my application before I submitted. So technically, this glitch is the second faux pas that Ross has committed.

Could everyone who just received invitations post the timestamps on these emails as well? It would help the rest of us to know whether they were sent in one batch.

@bakfed Totally concur with you man! Hope they have more invites rolling over the wknd.

@jtinva Yes, that was a "technical-glitch" from my front. V50 is definitely rare( I'm just V40 :) ). I updated it now!

EST is GMT -5, so 12:05 pm.


I think all invitations have been given out. Maybe not everyone has made it to gmatclub.com to post about it. :cry:

It'd be nice if we could just log in and see our status change. i.e., instead of just submitted & processed.

Among people who have invitations, has your status changed on the applyweb.com website?

Having been through the process a couple of years ago, I completely understand your frustration at this. But I wouldn't jump so quickly to blame the ad-com for the process just yet. I know for a fact that Ross revamped its IT system this year (student portal, printing, etc.), and this is the first admissions cycle with the new system. The Ross ad-com genuinely wants to have the least hassle free process for its applicants, and this new system is an attempt at just that. The R-1 wave-1 applicants here all appeared to have a very straightforward and relatively stress-free experience, and all of them complimented the new Ross process. It looks like there was a genuine technical glitch with the R-1 wave-2 applicants. Could the situation have been handled a little better? Probably yes. But does that mean the Ross ad-com doesn't care about it applicants? Absolutely Not. Just fyi..the Director of Admissions is a Ross MBA herself - so she has put in the same time, effort and money that all of us have, albeit a few years ago.

I'll check up on this ASAP and get back to you all, and once again - I understand your frustration about this. But for what it's worth, I assure you that the ad-com is doing its best to fix the situation.
