I applied during Round 1 (Money9111, I do not see my username in the list) and received an interview invitation today! Good luck to everyone who applied during Round 1!

If anyone else received an interview invite, feel free to connect.

FYI The Ross Admissions Director has a blog and her most recent post states that interview invites will be sent in two cycles - https://rossblogs.typepad.com/admissions/

Hope this helps.
