I applied to 7 schools and received an Interview invite from 5 of them already.
Not grtting an Invite from Simon was one a surprise.

I did not submit the optional Video Essay, can this be a reason?

I would call/email the school. I don't think not including a video essay would be the reason. Human errors can occur.

Hello viralchotai001,

If this was optional, it is unlikely that the rejection came in owing to the same. However, it could showcase the lack of additional effort.

Till we hear from the school, one can only speculate; hence, it is best to write to Simon.

All the best!

Submitted on Jan 5th. Received an application complete and under review mail on Feb 4th. I think its a ding for me, saw quite a few invites and even some acceptances on Clear Admit. Funny, because I have already interviewed with quite a few T15/20 schools. Not getting an invite from Simon is a bit demoralizing lol

Same for me

They might be trying to optimize their acceptance rate.

I’ve loved reading lots of information provided in this chat, and thought it would be useful to share my experience so far for future applicants as I wait on my admission decision:

- Applied on Feb 10th (which technically put me in R3, I think) not sure if this matters much, since they seem to have a rolling admission going on.

- Received an interview invite on Feb 14th (I was elated)

- I had an interview on February 18th. The interview was okay, it was with the admission committee - it was conversational and a tad-bit informational. It lasted about 25 minutes, more or less. If I remember correctly, I think after the 15th minute, they wrapped up asking you questions, and open the floor for me to ask them questions.

A bit about my background, if it helps: international student, gmat waiver, did my undergrad in the US & 3-4 years of WOE in R&D and business consulting.

And the wait begins.... Goodluck everyone :)

Wow. Congrats on that. But it's quite surprising. I mean people in R2 are yet to hear back. So I believe it's fair enough to assume we are dinged for those who didn't get an interview invite so far.

I'm curious, did they just ghost everyone in R2?
