Hi Zerpcool and Alps,
Even I had an interview with alumni last friday. I think it went good and I believe it was mainly technical. In your posts above you have mentioned that interviews are both "technical" and "personal". Do they conduct two rounds of interview with Personal separate from technical?

Hello Popov,
I did not have an interview with Alumni. I had two interviews with current students (not at the same time) and 1 with director of the program during R1. The 1st two interviews were purely technical, apart from 5 minutes at the end of my 2nd interview talking about my current projects. The last interview was mainly informative and to be offered admission.
Cheers,
Alex

Very rare, I guess.. At least after seeing past experience of people, as per forums on Quantnet, it looks less likely.

Ah I see..thanks!
I had an interview on 28 April, but no news yet. Any idea if they are done with awarding admits for R2 this year?

Popov, Actually one person posted his admit. He requested for an early decision. [EDITED :P]

Hmm.. Lets hold on to the typical application status on our webpages, and see how it goes by 30th May...
Guys
I received em e-mail on Friday saying that my application was being put on Hold. It also asked me to attend the pre-program courses offered by the school post which they will make a decision. I have a few queries and it would be good if someone with information can reply back.
1. Any idea on how many 'Hold' candidates actually make the final cut? What I want to know is how realisitc are chances for a 'Hold' candidate?
2. The e-mail says that the final decision will be taken somewhere around Janaury end or February beginning next year. The question is primarily for any Indian students here. Any idea on how long does it take to process the Visa from India?
3. The e-mail also asks me to take courses on PDE and numerical analysis. The question is primarily for any Indian students here. Any idea on where possible courses are taught in India, especially Mumbai?
4. Is there any way I can request for an early decision? Has anyone done it before? It will be good to know the experience.

hello
I am in the same situation as you, I was interviewed 4 weeks ago. I did not ask for early decision.
When did you ask for it?

I had requested for an early decision a week after my interview. From this forum, I can see that admitted students usually get a decision about 3 weeks after the interview.
