If anyone has any tips to help me get off the waitlist, I'd highly recommend it Waitlisted on: 2021/12/09 GPA: 3.9 WE: 60 months Location: India Heard back via: Portal_update

Hi, I submitted my application on 2nd December, by when does McDonough send emails for interview. Thanks

For any Bschool, you should be getting interviews invites within around 3-4 weeks Max if they like your profile.

Sorry but I don’t agree on that! I’ll say just be chill and don’t get into comparing and making correlations out of these stuff. Just focus on other applications and just be prepared for interview!

I’m speaking out of experience. I’ve applied to 17 schools (I’m a reapplicant) since last year and over 90% of the time, what I’ve said is applicable. If I hadn’t received an interview invite by 4 weeks, it was either a waitlist or a ding. I have held out for hope until the last moment only for it to not materialize. I just don’t want others to go through something like that. Would advise people to be practical and move onto other schools/rounds.

Well based on my experience in two schools, I got interview invite 1.5 months post deadline and both got converted

Definitely, there are exceptions. And yes, until the result is out, one has to wait. I’m just saying that the chances are high in the first month since the application is submitted. And starts decreasing post that. Especially for overrepresented demographic groups.

Are McDonough interviews R2 on rolling invite basis?

Would it also impact the chances of an interview / admit if I wait till the deadline? Would it also impact the chances of an interview / admit if I wait till the deadline vs submitting now?
