Nopes. Was worldwide.

Seen couple of updates from Indians on clearadmit.. Both 750+.. Looks like it was based on some GMAT cutoff..

Nopes. Check again. 720 Indian got in.

Southeast Asian here, still didn't get any invite. Hope the second wave would bring good news.

SEA here too. lets hope we get the invite in the next wave

I'm an Indian based in Singapore..Got my invite on 14th. So did my another Indian friend based in Sg.

When did you and your friend submit application?

Also please confirm if you and him got the email at the same time.. just want to know whether the emails sent were automated or sent separately.
If same time then automated
If different time then seperately and it means mybe the first wave is not over yet.

Congrats everyone who heard today!

Happy to share details:
I submitted 1-2 days before new year..Don't remember exact dates...She too submitted in last week but dunno exact date...I got mail at Jan 14 1:08 AM Singapore time. It must have been Jan 13 in US I guess..We both got mails on the same date..Not sure of the exact times...
Wait for the second "wave" and best of luck...

btw, the earliest interview date that was offered to me in Sg was 4th Feb. hence may be they plan to give all interview calls by Jan and then get going with interviews in Feb..Just a guess...

Thanks a lot for info.
Best of luck

Hi guys - I(Australia/Indian) too got an invite on Jan 14, 2017 at 4:09 AM AEDT. I have a question - I'm travelling to the US in mid-Feb, and planning to go for an on-campus interview? Does anyone know if I can attend interviews on a tourist visa? sorry - I know that the question is not quite directly related to the admissions, but I'm still confused whether I should go for on-campus/off campus, given my US travel plans.

Yes of course you can. I'd recommend a trip to Ann Arbor if you're going there anyway. Good luck!

So I hear that Round 2 Wave 1 for Ross is over and Wave 2 will be around Jan end.
Add to that, wave 2 is supposed to be smaller. ( As per all the AKB's, WOB's and Clear admit trolls)
However last year data seems to be telling a totally different story:

Last year || This year (so far)
R1 total : 260 || R1 Total : 239
Interviewed: 75 (29%) || Interviewed : 75 ( 31%)
Admitted : 57 (22%) ||Admittted : 54 (22%)

It's literally SAME. All the percentages for last year and this year tally.

Now for R2 data ( data is not mature, I know!)

Last year || This year (so far)
R2 total : 186 ||R2 Total : 118+ ( The number is increasing slowly)
Interviewed: 69 (37%) ||Interviewed : 13 ( 11%) <-- so far
Admitted : 38 (20%) ||Admitted : ---

Assuming R2 intake of this year to be same as last year's, one can consider 37% percentage as number of people who will get interviewed.
37% of 118 = 44 Candidates.
Since so far only 13 candidates have been invited in Wave 1.
I believe up to ( 44-13 = 31) candidates are likely to be invited from gmatpool.

Which makes me believe that Wave 2 will be substantially bigger than wave 1.

P.S : Sitting jobless in office.

A total of 140 people were admitted in round 1

Not possible in "my" thinking but I could be wrong.
Ross selects up to 80% class in Round 1 and 2. 80% X 418 = 335 ( Considering 50% R1 and 50% R2 : Min. R1 students admitted = 168)
Ross yield = 45%, that means they need to select a greater number of students in each round for R1 and R2.
Therefore even 168 is too pessimistic an estimate.
Real estimate should be around 200 for Round 1 not 140.

I know where you got that from, but I think it will be more as the dlist on that excludes some people I know that were interviewed on-campus etc. The email was aimed at those who have not visited campus yet IIRC.



The number is from an admit email that wasn't BCC and had ~140 names on it, but as I said before it will be more because people I know who are admits were not on the email, and they had visited campus.
