What do you mean by all seats were fully placed?

 

[Shubhankit]

Also does being on a waitlist this year, help in guaranteeing an admit for next year ?

I meant they admitted all the students necessary (around 80 students) and all we did was wait for someone to withdraw since the admission cycle was over.

Yes. A few candidates get a guarantee for the next cycle.

I received an invite on the 19th did the interview on the 28th but still no result. I guess I'm gonna be waitlisted

 

[maitreya]

The portal says they received my GRE scores on 22th. Will that put my application last in the list?

Have you heard back about a 2nd interview? I heard there's usually more than one interview.

 

[anonymous_monkey]

Not yet no, but I guess if I were to get rejected I would’ve heard back yet.

True, it's not like they are in a hurry either. Their program starts in March.
