Hi everyone! I wanted to ask those who have had an interview, how many tabs did you see in the portal? Initially, I saw three tabs which included one that asked me to review my address and contact information. However, the tab asking about my contact information has disappeared. I am curious to know if this change means anything.

Hey.. I’m now down to 2 tabs here too, and I interviewed.

Thank you. I guess it's just a waiting game now. One more week to go!

Same here, just found out I got only two tabs as well. Hope we all get good results!

Haha, as the decision day approaches. Its good to see how each one of us is trying to read too deeply between the lines and look for lucky omens. Even I saw two tabs on my application page, was interviewed on the 7th March for MSx.

I was trying to look for signs, haha. But honestly, when the tab disappeared, it felt like a bad sign. It felt like they removed it because they didn't need me to confirm my contact information anymore, which made me think they were not intending to get in touch with me.

Guys-If at all this means anything, I am down to just one tab. The tab reading "MSx Interview" has disappeared too. This adds a new dimension and flavour to the wait for final decisions.

Hi everyone, I am looking to apply for this program for the next session. Other than good GMAT/profile and applying early (r1). Do you guys have any suggestions/inputs? Would appreciate it very much.
