Posted from my mobile device

I've been trying to focus on all the strong things about my application, going through the reasons I SHOULD get an interview invite rather than reasons I shouldn't. It's helping a little bit..

A total of 36 invites out so far (based on posts and updates on page 1). A total of 130 folks applied for R1 (I took 130 as some others did not have any updates on whether they actually applied to the program)

Seems 25% have received invites. Looks like there will be some more invites at least.

Got invited for interview today!!! I am so exited!

Invited to interview!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Invited to interview yesterday! Applied on 10/10.

I received my invite Thursday morning and selected the off-campus option (I've already visited Booth). I got my alumni interviewer's information Friday morning and sent him an e-mail to set the interview up...I haven't heard back from him!! Freaking out, I know I'm supposed to contact Booth if the alumni doesn't get back to me within 2 business days (was in the off-campus instructions), but I'm freaking out!! Any suggestions?

Got my invite on the 4th.

Gmat 740, GPA (MS) 3.9, 3.5 yrs consulting exp (not big 3), 1 year non-consulting exp. Reapplicant.

it seems like that.
+20 points or 2-3 additional points in a section make a difference as I see.

Sometimes I feel that AdComs worry more about the GMAT score (which is included in calculations for most of ratings)
than in the content of the essays (which are not included in any rating).

My 2 cents here

IMHO - Booth has released very few invites from Nov 2. I think people who have not been invited are panicking, but there is not much to panic about. - as per my calculations, it seems around 10-15 people got invites every day among GMATClub applicants (starting from Nov 2), a far lower average number compared to previous years applications.

In the past when Booth released invites over a period of 2 weeks, it released a significant amount of invites in the beginning, another peak in the middle and then finally things tapered off at the end.

Comparing the past events to the present, I feel that Booth has really not released the huge chunk of invites that we have been waiting for.

I could be wrong, but I think this coming week will see a significant rise in incoming invites.

Got it! 9:46am time stamp.

whew

OMG my interview arrives! I seriously screamed out!

I believe yours are on the way!

9:46 timestamp, woohoo!

I got mine in the late afternoon...last Thursday. So the invitation could come at anytime.

But you have until Dec 3rd to schedule your interview, so 9hrs of sleep isn't going to hurt anything!
