Hey Guys,

Has anyone who submitted their application on the 4th of Jan yet to receive an interview invite?

Yes - same here!! Although I did give a pre-submission interview. I am yet to hear from them about my application status...
Can anyone let us know if this amounts to a rejection?

For people who are preparing for interviews. I think this will help. I have attached a document with all the interview questions for Simon posted in GMATclub in the last 3 years. Questions in reverse chronological order. I think more emphasis should be on the top 22 questions. The rest are from 2016 and I don't think based on this year's post and my personal experience will be much needed.

It has been more than 2 days! Considering my experience with other schools, if they do want to call you for interview they do that within first 10 days of submission of the application. So I have kind of given up. They were also very prompt with their replies on the email before this.

Has anyone received any invitation to the scholarship weekend? Also is there some sort of non-disclosure agreement about it as I wasn't able to find anyone posting about their experiences with it.

Can you please share your experiences as well? The information about scholarship weekend normally comes in the admission invite packets. Have you received any admission invite?

Also It would be great if you can share your profile.

Round 3 applicant. Got an interview call after a few days and was interviewed on the 17th. Still waiting for a decision. I'm honestly going mad waiting for a decision though I know it does take time.

I emailed them some questions recently and they havent replied yet. Usually though they do reply quickly so maybe they're busy right now?

I got admitted. I submitted my app on 5th of January and my recommenders got their job done just few days ago. I already had an interview. Really felt bad about it. However, received a call yesterday and they told me I am admitted with scholarship (still have no idea how much).
