I have applied to a B school on October 12th and my application states it us under review from then till today. Before Jan 31st they say that all the applications will be reviewed and the decisions will be out! My concerns are growing because

1.A person I know has already been admitted. She has a better profile! Agreed! But she applied at least two weeks after I did!

2.Few ppl I know including the above person were interviewed. I have not been interviewed till now and I have not been given any date for an interview or anything like that. The people who were interviewed had profiles similar to mine!

3. For a few i spoke to, the college has sent their referees a mail asking them to confirm their inputs. My referees have not received any!

So wat do u think guys?? I think I am already out of contention! My decision should be out by Jan 31st!! Need some inputs from u guys!

Dear Padre,

You do not know your decision until you know your decision. However, I do think you are right to be concerned based on what you posted. Have you checked with the school to make sure all of your application components were received? If so, then I think it is looking like the interview invitation might not present itself. If not, then I would suggest checking with the admissions office immediately in case something isn't there and your application is incomplete. This year, many school received a very large number of applications in their first two rounds which means it takes considerable time to go through the review process. Hang in there!

Good luck,
Lisa
