Hi,

Anyone got any interview invite from MSx R1? They said 11th or after. Just wondering if anyone has got it? Or knows of someone who got it? Application status still says ' In Review'.

If it’s not happening till this Friday, it’s not happening at all

+1 No one is reporting interview invites here or clear admit. Either invite roll out is delayed or folks who received invites are not socially active.

Congrats! You applied to both the MBA and the MSx, right? I think this can explain that the date is earlier than Nov 11th.

Nope. Applied to only MSx... I was also very surprised to receive the interview invitation much earlier than Nov 11th.... I knew few folks who applied to MSx only also received the interview invitation on Nov. 5th...

Congrats Jeremy! That’s fantastic news.

You should be very proud of yourself as one of the very early invites! I was wondering did you keep engaging with the admissions teams (such as attending events, sending them emails, even visiting campus etc.) after submission, or not at all? This might be very helpful for other applicants.

Would love to know as well. Thanks

Also wondering how far out were you able to schedule your interview?

I think getting interview invites before the date is normal(dont know the criteria though) i can see same pattern in last years posts. But there will be a batch of invites that are sent after the date(11/11 in our case) not sure if those batch of invites are also sent out. Will be useful to know if anyone received interview invite on or after 11/11.

Thank you both! Keep faith. I think they will continue sending out the invites!! I only attended one online info session... I didnt send them any emails, neither visit the campus. I was able to schedule the interview from November 8th all the way to the end of November like November 25th I think.
