hey... if someone like me hasnt recieved the interview invitee..what does that mean? is it a ding? I got the impression from this forum that everybody gets a notification irrespective of whether you are being invited or whether it is a ding?
Is that correct?

Not sure..but dont think that wait list applies to this stage of the process.. It applies to post interview phase..but I may be wrong

I did drop a note to them actually yesterday night IST. It was around 5:30 PM GMT at that time. No response to that as well. I think if we do not receive any communication by SOP GMT today we are well within our rights to give them a call.

Hi Folks - raibatak, sanketh84, zimzamzum, gmat9003, debmalyadutta.

I think the adcom got tired of sending e-mails as they started little late and hence stretched till 1-2am. Instead of making mistake (zzzz) in sending e-mails, they would have preferred to delay by another day. I think we should wait for another day (though I am too anxious to send an e-mail to them right-away). If anyone of you have already communicated to them regarding this, then please post a reply.
If I do not get any mail from them by noon (GMT), then I'll send a mail to them.

search for "delay" in this page -
the-london-business-school-2009-thread-70701-140.html

In 2009, delay happened because of large volume of applications.

rahul28.. agree with you... I have not yet received any response to the mail I sent to the adcom. Don't expect any further development before SOP BST today (2:30 pm IST).. wait and watch for us then :)

As per the replies on this forum, there's 16 invites and 8 dings. There's also someone who got an unusual email stating that AdCom needs more time to make a decision.

Last night, in the chatroom, I saw 29 invites and 11 dings. There's obviously some overlap between those on chat and those who posted to this forum but looks like at least 35+ invites on gmatclub and around 15 dings.

Good luck to everyone - those preparing for interviews, those looking ahead to another school and those waiting for answers.

I also get the feeling that this time too, they will start with the dings again and go then go to the invites...
