Do you guys know if the group exercise is going to be there for off-campus interviews as well?

Group interview is on campus only. I think 2nd years moderate it. Since they're the only ones trained to give those, it's on campus only

So interview invites will go out on Oct 21 ! fingers crossed

Nevermind, I see it now in Soojin's admission blog: https://rossblogs.typepad.com/admissions/

Yeah. Even I checked out the blog and seeing that I think intimation for all the interviews will be done before 21 October. Check the following from her blog "The team is in the process of doing our first reviews of Round 1 apps. We plan to get all interview invitations out by October 21 (except for Consortium, which will go out separately, after we receive your applications from the Consortium). "

Nice NR91! Thanks for pointing that out.

Yep, and I'll just bump this up a page, since it was at the end of last page:

I think invites will start being sent out this week itself. I called them up, they said it will be staggered and by Oct 21 everyone will have been notified. Pretty much need to keep checking emails....Ahh the wait is killing..wish they would just send it out on one single day!
