No, Invites are based on the evaluation the Ad Com does on your preliminarily application.

Hi

Does any one who has already applied, can help me with understanding how long the entire WES process take? I have everything ready as well as the unofficial transcript, but the adcom team has asked for WES report only.

From what I read on the internet, it takes 30-45 days, can I ask the adcom team to consider unofficial transcript while the wes process is happening in the backgroud.

I am based out of India, btw

I have been admitted to the program, however, I used notarized copies of the transcript. Unfortunately, have no idea about WES as it is generally not needed for applying.

Congratulations Anshul on the invite, by the time I'm responding to this you've already had your interview ( and hopefully had a pleasant experience ). You can view ( and add ) the experiences at the interview debrief.

Hey momazhar,

Greetings!

Sure I will put up my debrief soon. However, I kindly request you to help me with one small query of mine, if possible. Since you have already been admitted to the school is there a particular day of the week on which the school usually rolls out the admissions decisions?

Thanks & Regards,

The interview was very friendly, the goal is really for them to get to know you and understand your ambitions and all. I was very stressed and prepared for really difficult questions but it went smooth and it felt more like a conversation rather than an interview. I hope this helps.
