Question about Cornell / Johnson

I applied to 6 schools and got interviews from all of them. But I strong preference for 3 of them:
- Cornell
- USC
- Mccombs

Is it fairly safe to assume there's a solid chance to get admitted to at least one of the 3? Trying to decide whether I should prep for round 2.

November 4, 2024 7:28am ET
Question about Georgetown / McDonough

I applied R1 (not early decision) to Georgetown and did my interview exactly 3 weeks ago. The interviewer told me I'd have a response by 30th of October, but it seems like she made a mistake! I know the deadline for R1 responses is Dec 1, but did anyone else have an experience like this? I just don't know if I should be expecting a response soon, as I interviewed really early!

November 4, 2024 6:35am ET
Question about All Schools

Any Indian/Pakistani received R1 interview invite from Dartmouth Tuck, Duke Fuqua, UNC Kenan-Flagler, Rice Jones & Notre Dame Mendoza?

What would be the last week to receive an invite? Getting worried now.

Question about All Schools

Hi guys, it was a particularly unsuccessful round 1 for me as it seems as of now, and highly likely it remains this way. I applied to Kellogg, Yale, Haas, Anderson, Tuck, Darden, and Duke. Out of these, Tuck was EA hence had a guaranteed interview, while from all the others, only got an interview invite from Darden and have interviewed with them. I have not heard anything yet from the rest of the schools, and it’s almost now 2 months since I applied to Kellogg, Yale, and Haas. Is it now over for R1, how long should I wait? Is there anything I can do now, or should I not waste any more time now and plan something for R2? Any tips are greatly appreciated, thank you so much in advance!!
