Does anyone know If there is going to be a third wave of interview invites for sure? If so, is it going to be the last one for Round2?

No one knows for sure, but there were three waves last year and the third wave went out a week after the second wave.

I believe they would be sending last wave of interview invites for round 2 today. Read a couple of posts above yours, on the same page. Someone called the admissions office yesterday and got this information.

Guys, this is what the Ross adcom replied to my question regarding the third wave:
"When decisions are released, you will be contacted via email. You will be able to login to your account at that time and check your admission decision.
The second wave of interview invites was sent on February 4. There may or may not be a third wave of invites."

When was this? did you write to them yesterday?
Reason why I ask is, someone called the admissions yesterday and was told that the last wave of invites would go out today.

First time when I send an email to ross admissions I got the similer reply as The second wave of interview invites was sent February 4. We may or may not have another wave for Round 2. Please be patient.
All interview invites are sent via email. Please be sure to check your junk/spam folders. But when I called admissions office directly, they told me that they will release last wave of round 2 interview invitations on Friday, Feb 8th. Generally Ross releases its invitations around 5.00 pm EST.

Holy crap - just received an interview invite for my R2 app! I had written off hope after seeing that there may or may not be any more invites.

I've been obsessively by my computer/phone all day since today is the release date for Tuck decisions so this was a pleasant surprise!

Nothing here. Looks like I'll need to cross my fingers and hope a few more are around maybe even early next week.

Anyone opting to NOT do an on-campus interview even though they haven't visited? Will I be looked upon unfavorably because I haven't visited campus at least once?

Would also love to hear the answer on that from others. The turnaround to do the interview is quite short and I don't think I'll be able to wrap up this project in time enough to make out to campus. I really want to get out there though.

I'm visiting AA (Ann Arbor) Feb 22 for my interview, tour, class visits, see the place, maybe crush a party. For purposes of admission, they [adcom] always say that an interview is an interview, they have the same weight, whether conducted via skype, by alumni off campus or on-campus. That is their claim. Don't know how a grainy skype interview, in which you look like a ghost; or maybe where sound comes and go, would be weighed against the on-campus interview. Your target should be off-campus with alumni or on-campus. do the skype interview if all others fail....
