Received an interview invitation last friday - the 14th - around 18:30 eastern time zone. Brazilian applicant here. Good luck to us all!

can you tell us when your application went under review Thanks

A couple of days after I sent my application, so around January the 4th.

Congrats! When did you schedule your interview? Do not forget to share your interview experience!

Well, that update email that admissions just sent was cruel.

Why do you say that? I actually appreciate getting a status e-mail like it. It's much better than reading an email indicating that all R2 candiates have been interviewed by now! :D

I was excited clicking that e-mail, thinking it was an interview invite....

Anyone local (Bay Area) receive a R2 invitation yet?

I'm wondering the same....any Bay Area invites?
