Yeah, I was in the mountains this weekend with no cellphone or internet... I arrive home to find all the slots are gone ... They must have filled up with eager interviewees over the weekend. Oh well, I suppose I'll request an off-campus. I was really looking forward to flying out to Ann Arbor and hanging out for a weekend.....

Has anyone heard from their off-campus interviewer? I submitted a request on Saturday to interview in Los Angeles and left my personal contact info, but still haven't heard anything or seen any changes in the interview website.

I specifically booked a Skype Interview since I am deployed on a project which requires a lot of travelling. All those who are attending the group exercise in Delhi, do let me know so that we can informally connect over e-mail. I am already in touch with Amit Pandey (from this forum itself). My e-mail ID is "anuragverma666@gmail.com". Looking forward to see you all at the group exercise in Delhi!

You'll get an email from that invitation address once an interviewer available during your selected time slot responds to your message. I got it yesterday. Good luck!

Hi Friends, How does one come to know whether one has been wait listed or rejected. The status of my application is still - submitted. Does one get a mail from Admissions if one is wait listed or rejected? Thanks in advance for your replies! Charu

I was just visiting Ann Arbor this weekend! I got the e-mail 15 minutes after I left campus. So looks like I'm going back to Ross next weekend. I think I might have snagged one of the last interview slots. Good luck all!

Based on a post by a consultant at another forum, if you have not received an interview invite by 17th it means you have might be waitlisted or rejected. But you won't know until decision deadline is near (so in March). I am disappointed that I did not get invited but its not the end of the road so here's hoping for the best.

Thanks for your reply missil3. I called up admissions here in Michigan and what you have said is true. I'd say there is still hope till March. All the best Regards, Charu

I would like to wish that the consultant's statement is not 100% correct since there were multiple waves of interview requests sent in 2011 as per following Ross Ad Com blog archive. Though, it seems like bulk of them are send in the initial wave (based on data published of R1 interview requests). https://rossblogs.typepad.com/admissions ... pdate.html I hope that Ross has not changed the process in 2014 and I am not going through the emotions of Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber. ("So you're telling me there's a chance" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqdNe8u-Jsg ) G'Luck, Matt

I'm interviewing on the 7th of February. Going to make an overnight trip out of it and stop by Michigan State University to watch MSU v. PSU basketball. I just can't miss my spartans! Hopefully I see a couple of you there
