ayo ayo Avi - the first of many I hope.........in every which way - this should be the first invit for many more invits , and this should be the first g-clubber getting love from gsb of many more g-clubbers :)

Respect dude.......any idea what percentage of the interview slots being used up. From last yeasr thread I have come to this rather irrational conclusion that if I do get a call .........then it'll be in the first week.

I am starting to hate gmail already

lol, last year was worse... the GSB sent out a newsletter in the middle of the interview period. On a blackberry all you could see was "Chicago GSB - Office of Admiss.."

It was a wierd emotion. Excitement, dissapointment and anger into one emotion called: "exdissanger".

I remember the moment well. It went something like this:

Blackberry buzz in my pocket...
I wonder if its the GSB...
Woah, OMG ITS THE GSB, YESSSS YESS YESS!!
Open it,.... HOLY ... I DID IT! I GOT AN INTERVIEW!
CRAP.... What the heck is this unparsed HTML and javascript? Crap... I can't read this...
Wait a minute... huh? Newsletter?
Its a newsletter?
Oh my god, its a newsletter!
What the !(@!(@# ITS A !(@#(@!# NEWSLETTER?
!@(#!(@# !
What kind of !(@#!(@# sends a (!@(#!@ newsletter out during invite week?!?!!
Aw poop.

Correlation(strength of app, interview_invite_date) = 0.95


From GSB website:

There is no set order in which we review applications and release invitations to interview so you could hear any time between now and the 14th.

I was trying to be a little silly and loosely imply that the strength of the app matters as to whether or not you get an interview, not that strongest apps get invites first. Admittely, that doesn't come through in the above. I probably meant to say correlation(strength of app, interview_invite) ...

These days, I multitask 10 things at a time.
