Does anyone know what the deposit deadline for Round 1 usually is?
thanks!

Hey mate,

Are you a R-1 applicant to CMU?

I think your best resource would be the Ad-com, as I contacted a current student about this, and she probably did not have much idea :O

Let me see what can we get from the Ad-com

Meanwhile, can you throw some light on your profile?

Thanks,
Ankit

Hi Ankit,

I did contact the AdCom on the other thread on GMATclub just after posting this question here. James replied that historically, they've asked for a deposit of $1,200 by around February! So, I'm moving to R2 for this school.

Engineer
Female
Work exp of 6 years - last 2 in consulting

I'm also in for R-2, planning for a retake in November as well.

Work Experience ( industry/domain) : 3 years - consulting

Extra Curricular : Not significant - Mostly little stuff at work place

Other Schools : Harvard, Stanford, Kellogg, Stern, Tuck, Ross, Anderson

That's pretty awesome to say the least

How are your essays coming along ?

Thanks,
Ankit

Thanks.. Extracurrics are killing me. Being lazy in undergrad has now come back to haunt + only a few years of experience
Essays all submitted yesterday.. Just keeping my fingers crossed now.. Hoping they release the interview results early

As your from India , I think the distinguishing factor becomes IIT/NIT/Rest of the colleges . If your from a top premier institute - I do think you should get an invite

All the best mate

22 October is the deadline. Looks like the thread is not as active as last year's; has the number of applicants for R1 gone down ? ...Wondering...

Yea, I do feel the same.

Have you submitted your essays or applying in R2/R3?

Kinda.. BITS-Pilani
How are your essays coming along?
Yea.. the thread is not that active.. Not sure why.. Maybe cuz other colleges deadlines might be coinciding.. I know Anderson is on 24th

Submitted the application on Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Essays are coming along ok ; I have my retake in November, and thats the reason to move my application into R-2.

So, Hoping for a good written to bang it on
