So, for the interviews it seemed like all the invites came out around the same time and then rejections were late at night, right?

Do we expect the same on Wednesday?


Based on last year’s thread, it looked like decisions (both offers and rejects) were sent together.

Ugh. That’s horrible! So that moment while you’re waiting for the email to open is a nightmare. Even worse if they make you log in to your profile to see the decision. Wonder if the email title gives any indication.

Ha I know. I’m literally gonna have a heart attack before I click on “view updates” on the portal.

Or maybe they just email you about the result directly like what they did with interview invites.

It's going to be the anxious moment of the day!! Fingers crossed.... I saw LBS admit letter, a friend received last year. It's similar to the interview invite and gives no indication.. It makes your heart skip a beat.....

The interview invite email I received made it clear. So are you saying the email your friend received was like “Your status has been updated. Log in to your account to view the update”? If so, that would be excruciating.

Oh No.. I meant the title is not clear and doesn't give the indication of the final result. I generally read all my mails on phone, so the time it takes to download the mail and open it to see what the result it - drives me anxious. Waiting is definitely not my strength ;)

Apologies for not being clear....

The waits killing me. According to Livewire they are doing calls. It's already 7pm IST. Shouldn't Asian applicants get the call soon.

Do not take LiveWire as gospel until they start flooding in on there. For some reason people like to troll on there. They might just be doing emails like every other year.
