I actually met the admissions director at an event. She said you will be either waitlisted or accepted. For waitlist she said that you can work on your GMAT score. All decisions will be made on/before 15th..

Did any of your recommenders receive a request for LOR? Especially those admitted?

Did anyone get a zoom call invite yesterday midnight IST? What does a zoom call invite mean?

I haven't received a reply yet. I was interviewed on October 29.

Also, does anyone know if they usually take this long to give a decision? I mean, a lot of people who were interviewed later received a reply much faster according to the discussion here.

Hey I interviewed on 31st and still no response. Dk I think they are calling according to the scholarship given. But now I am just done checking my portal and email again and again. They are just dragging it too much honestly. Others take 2 to 3 days to release all the decisions

It’s highly unlikely we will get acceptance on 14th and 15th since it’s the weekend and acceptance is on a zoom call.
I think it will be a waitlist for me

But they do communicate a decision through email, right? Even if it's a waitlist

One of the forum members received a zoom call invite at midnight IST and missed it. In this case, do they schedule the call again or just communicate it over email later? (acceptance offer and waitlist)

Yep it’s gonna be either today or tomorrow and that’s it. After that it’s waitlist or rejection.

Waitlist decisions are sent on the deadline day
