I am waitlisted for r2 as well, but i haven't received anything from them. u guys have any idea how large is the pool?
I just had the interview. Rick said he's just trying to get to know all prospective students and their career interests and plans, blablabla, so I guess if you don't have the interview invitation yet, very likely it's coming soon. But I don't think we should give too much hope, as the pool seems to be quite big. He also said waitlist may turn into ad on days other than may 23rd, but then he said he wasn't sure about that:confused: anyways good luck! I'll be sure to post more updates.

I also received interview invitation and will be interviewed on Apr. 16th. I am waitlist of R1. So as my classmate who is also waitlist of R1 and will be interviewed on Apr. 16th. I heard from another person who has been interview yesterday said that Rick told her the result will be release in a week.

Wish us all good luck~

I received my official AD (decision letter and video) this morning!
There was no email between my interview and the decision. As far as I know, 3 other people who were interviewed were also admitted. Estimating (tentatively) more than half of ads coming out of a total of 17 interviews. My guess is that the yield for R1 and R2 altogether did not meet their expectation, and this partly explains why all these results are coming out so soon.

Hi, friends!
Eh...students from waiting list of R1&R2 have been interviewed last week. Do you have any information about the number of 3rd Round applicants or admission rate?

Have no clue. My guess is that next week invitations should start coming...

All the best guys... from what I understand of the process, only serious candidates are interviewed... but keep in mind that if you ace the interview then you definitely bag some $$$!

Cheers!

Aha, I know. The interview invitation means the unofficial admission.
Thank you ~

Thanks! I believe if there are still any invitations for interview they will be out by no later than today, cause the time slots start tomorrow. So far there are already 16 students registered for interview during 05/08 - 05/14. Anyone knows how many students get admitted during each round?
