Just got the alert from Darden that my app was submitted (it was a weird password reset email actually), and an interview request same day.
Haven't heard a peep from UCLA, invites from Darden and Tepper so far.

I've received confirmation from Marshall and Haas, but haven't heard anything from UCLA, but if they didn't contact you prior to you invite, then I suppose I should just keep hoping for the time being.

Sorry... Sorry, but I must disagree with you on your point #1. If you are invited to participate on a diversity day interview, it gives you a chance to meet with the the ad coms focused on diversity recruiting, who ultimately decide who to give fellowships to. By not going, you are missing out on an opportunity to make a positive impression and the ad coms quite frankly won't know why you are more qualified to receive a fellowship than someone else who actually attended and demonstrated interest. I know someone who received a fellowship a few years ago to a consortium school, and is now active in that school's interview process. He outright told me that it is advantageous to go to events if you are able to do so. As for the in-person interviews overall -- I agree that they are inconvenient, but they say 90% of communication is non-verbal, so it makes some sense that these schools want to see you live, rather than talking with you over the phone or Skype.

Simply put, I just don't have that kind of money at present.

Just received an interview invite from Marshall, definitely good to get at-least one. Still very much hoping for invites from Haas and Anderson. Seems like a couple people have received Anderson invites in the last few days.... so I'm a bit nervous. I don't think Haas interviews for R2 applicants will go out for a while though. Or has anyone from R2 received one already???
