Has any international student gotten an invite from Penn IGG? It’s mainly domestic students on the results page.

for a reference upenn gcb only invites 4 international stuends to interviw.  I think iGG would be a little more but not by much so its very likely that not a lot of result on the result page indeed

How many domestic students do they invite? I’m trying to see what that ratio would look like for ngg

Vanderbilt used to have a separate interview date for international applicants so you should confirm if they are done inviting people for this track. They interviewed all international applicants on the same date while domestic applicants had more options.

Hey don't lost hope! I applied to 9 schools and have only had 2 rejections and no interview requests so far! I also applied to UCLA IMMP and haven't heard back -- keep hoping, I am sure something will work out!
