-Asking for a friend, is anyone still getting interview invites?
Most of the colleges say BY April 1 not ON April 1. And they release decisions at around last week of March.
I think so for I received my invitation three days ago
@amendoim Do you mind to share if you’re a round 1 or round 2 applicant?
Hi! I just found this thread. I am an international student from India applying in round one. Nice to meet you guys!
@themist110 How was your interview?
@RayLiSingapore Not 100% sure, but I asked one of their admission people and they said that they go through applications randomly, so if they haven’t responded (by saying you’re deferred/waitlisted/rejected/shortlisted) then they likely haven’t gone through your application yet!
@themist110 hi! nice to meet you too! have you gotten an interview invite yet?
Hi guys! I’m an international student from India applying R1. I haven’t received any interview invitation and I’m worried!
@mmstanfordbound I think your best option is to email the admissions team to see if they are still offering interviews for Round 1. Good luck
@BarryA I did! They told me they’re still not done with R1 interviews - that they’re reading applications progressively. But I don’t know why it takes so long! I submitted my app in October for the SCEA deadline for Yale. Sigh.
@mmstanfordbound The deadline for submitting the financial aid application is Feb 24 for R1. Considering that, I don’t think that they are still sending out invites. Sorry if that’s rude.
@primenumber I think that isn’t the “hard” deadline for financial aid. It says in the email if we apply FA by 24 Feb, we will get the result of FA package with admissions decision. If applied after, you get your FA package after admission decision. Perhaps @mmstanfordbound could have been deferred for R2 or maybe they are actually still sending out invites. Don’t lose hope, though you still seem to have a lot other good, if not better, universities under your belt!
@BarryA @primenumber I haven’t applied for FA, and didn’t plan to
You won’t be eligible to apply FA until you get invited your interview anyway, whether you need it or not. It lessens their workload that way so they don’t have to compute FA for all applicants. @mmstanfordbound
Hey everyone! I’m (yet another) international applicant from India from round 2! Just wanted to know when would the interview calls for round 2 would be announced. Good luck on your applications
Yeap, I agree with @BarryA, they’re likely still going through round 1 interviews and admissions. The admission decision release will probably be the last week of March, so I’m guessing that they should be done with interviews at least a week before that (but that’s just a guess!)
@jaysteller Hi! Round 1 interview invitations started being released even before their deadline, so I’m thinking that Round 2 interview calls might start around early-mid March? Again, just a guess! You could always email them if you’d like a more substantial answer
R1 interview are still going on. I got an email from them saying it will go on till, I quote, “beginning of March”.
Has anyone who was interviewed for R1, received invitation to send FA documents?
@India2018 Have you received an interview invitation? Do you mean an invitation to file FA application or to send extra FA documents?
No I have not yet been interviewed, although the window appears to be rapidly closing. When they start emailing applicants to send FA application or additional FA documents, it signals the conclusion of interviews & R1 selection, and the start of the FA decisions. Which is why I asked if anyone has received such an email.
I rmb last year they sent email to ask for additional FA documents about this time (beginning of March)??
