I would assume that it could be because of one of the two reasons: 1. Too many applications from asia 2. Not much class participation from some of the students from this region in previous years Looking at activities on this thread, I had impression that there are fewer applicants this year than the last one. It might just be the opposite. Whatever it be, in all probability China applicants would be the first ones to get interview invites

Hmmm... This complicates things a bit for me. I just finished an expat assignment in Beijing, returning to North America last week after having submitted my application which showed my address as Beijing. I thought I was in better shape as I am now living about an hour from Ann Arbor, but it turns out it could have been beneficial if I were still in China. In any case, I'm wondering if I should write to inform the admissions team of my situation or just wait and see if I end up with an invitation in the first place.

Anyone know when we can expect to see interview invites for R2? Not sure if people from last year can weigh in and let us know how long it took to hear back after the R2 deadline. Thanks

First wave of invites is supposed to come today. Anyone with the R2 interview invite yet?

I think you are in a better position being close to A2. I would schedule a class visit to understand the school a bit better (unless you already have). The interview experience at A2 may be much more consistent than ones conducted abroad. If you are an American, you are not in the same application pool as international candidates. The timing of invites has no bearing on admittance.

Has anyone received an invite for Round 2 yet?

The R2 intreview invites were expected to go for all the applicants or only to those located in Asia?

I am in Beijing. Still did not receive any yet.

Nothing for me yet, but am remembering there are three invite dates and Ross explicitly states the date at which you're invited means nothing with regards to chances.
