Hi All,

Can anyone help me understand typically how much time admitted candidates have to make the acceptance deposit after receiving the decision?

Thanks!

I am planning to apply to MBS Round 2 and the deadline for the same is 31st December 2019. My query is whether I can take the GMAT exam after the deadline or not. I am not sure about it and the university is closed for holidays.

I got my interview invite at around 3AM (IST) this morning. Not sure if they're sending them out in batches or at once.

Anyone else applying to R2, finished interviewing and expecting a response today?
Haven't received an email yet. It's incredibly nerve-racking!

Sorry to hear about that. Hope you're able to turn it into an admit.
Good luck!

Still haven't heard back from them. Fingers crossed.
