80% haven’t received interview invites. We know it’s a waitlist. So no anxiety. Only the people who interviewed should be anxious.
Same with R1 WL like me.. its known they won’t say anything until May

I remember in R1 they started called 8 am ET

and few Indians posted they received calls at the same time..

And calls were done by the adcom who interviewed the candidate, except if they were on leave or something.. and all calls were done in 30 minutes

Interview invites are typically low for Tepper. I believe the way they roll out only a handful of invites and waitlist pretty much everyone is because they are the most yield insecure school. They often admit candidates below their averages rather than the most deserving towards the end because most of the applicants get an offer and sign up with other peer school.

So, for folks who don’t have an equally competitive offer on the table or have enough money to put in the deposit for one school and then later switch to Tepper are the ones who often go there.

You can start with one school and later move to the other. That’s possible. But do you get the visa intereviews during that time I am not sure, you can try it.

45% of the International students.
Since international is 53%, that makes ~25%.

at the bottom of the table, it reads "INDIAN & CHINESE PERCENTAGES ARE PART OF SCHOOLS’ TOTAL INTERNATIONAL STUDENT POPULATION"

I doubt that. I know so many great profile people getting into Tepper in round 1. People who even got an interview call from stanford in round 2 got an admit at Tepper in round 1

How will Tepper know whether the student has a competitive offer? Like i said in the above message, i know lot of good profile peeps getting into Tepper in round 1

Obviously every school admits good folks. Tepper predominately admits people who are tailor made for their cohort i.e relevant pre mba background, relevant post mba goals and high GMAT/GRE. These are the ones who get an invite and get admitted. The others just need to wait, typically people with slightly below average profile have better chance to get into Tepper than its peer schools solely because of the waitlist game.

Sorry but got a bit confused with this. You are saying that people with good gmat and relevant experience have a good chance to be at Tepper but those with good profile do not have sucha a great chance?

What I am saying is the interview invites being rolled out to approx only 20% of the applicants and waitlisting everyone else rather than rejecting some who aren’t a good fit is very typical of Tepper. Now who gets in and who doesn’t is obviously dependent on the adcom. I believe the waitlist game gives a good shot to people who have below average profile for Tepper because often people who get accepted after the general decision date put in the deposit for a peer school and move rather than waiting till May.

Anyway, I don’t find a point to dwell further on this. We should just wait for the decisions and let time take its due course.
