Did you do EA or R1? And did you also register for the diversity week?

Round1. Nope, I didn’t apply for the diversity conference.
So they’re rolling out EA and R1 interview calls at the same time?

No invite as yet. Just wondering if it was the right call to forego scheduling an open interview. And just 5 days remain for the final decisions of the EA round :/

Posted from my mobile device
why would you forgo open interview option

As ad18 already explained, I was hoping that an interview invite would imply that the adcom liked the application. It was definitely a gamble - let's see what Oct 20 has in store.

Having learnt from the Fuqua ding experience- quite at ease.

Honestly worrying really has no impact on the decision. Relax guys

Anyone know what is the last date R1 candidates can expect Interview invites? Saw a lot of folks received their invites the week before (congrats btw!) wondering if the window is closed and what the time would be to assume the worst! 😅

I had same question jpan

I hope this helps

Timing is not a reflection of candidacy. We know the interview invitation process can cause some anxiety for applicants (the waiting is certainly the hardest part), but know that we extend interview invitations for each round on a rolling basis (as opposed to all at once). Applicants can be invited to interview up to the decision release date in question, and we appreciate your patience as we work through our review process.

Thank you. More so, we all did not submit our R1 app on the same date.

It's certainly going to be progressive review of applications.

The official decision is released electronically via status page update. Admitted students also receive a phone call in advance of the official decision notification.
From the Zoom event. All the best to EA applicants!

Hi! Those of you who were invited to an interview, did you get the details of the interviewer beforehand? I only received a meeting link.

FYI, I registered for the diversity conference.
