Is there a group chat for admitted students?

We have an admits thread here (Not much activity happening in it though) https://gmatclub.com/forum/calling-for- ... 03891.html

Applied 3-Oct. Invited to interview on 18-Oct. Been trying to match with alumni for an interview since then but no one seems to be available (understandable, since Diwali is just around the corner). Waiting for a response from my fourth match. All the best guys! Will post updates. Correction - I applied 2-Oct.

Congrats!! You heard back from them pretty quickly. Submitted on 4th. No notification yet. Is there a way to check on portal? If I log in to my application, all I see is green check marks with requirements submitted and with status as application submitted. Posted from my mobile device

Did you apply for early decision or regular?

Hi Mudit, you will get an email when invited to interview, and a new link will appear on your portal specifying that you have been invited to interview. All the best! Posted from my mobile device

Hi vamsired. I applied Early Decision. Posted from my mobile device

I applied 10/3 no invite. People who applied 10/4 are receiving invites. Does that usually mean ding?

If you haven't received a ding, then your application is under consideration. Either way, I recommend that you should stick to an action plan of applying to multiple places of your choice with the same enthusiasm. Don't get stuck up on any one application. There is nothing you can do to improve your chances after applying. All the best!
