Calling All Stanford Fall 2010 applicants!

One more week of interviews going out next week

shout out to all the r1 interviewees: thanks for all the pm advice on interviewing. you know who you are.

for everyone else waiting and preparing:

did my gsb interview a couple days ago...it was a formal set up and i met my interviewer at his corporate office. i would describe his demeanor during the interview as neutral to nice. we discussed the usual questions that you would expect in an interview (why mba, why stanford, why now). he asked me to walk through my resume and asked some really great/interesting probing follow up questions in between. ultimately, he seemed really interested in how and why i had made major career decisions over my professional life and in what really motivated me as an individual. the more i think about, it really seemed to be fit a interview and another data point for the gsb to make sure you are who you say you are, but ill refrain from speculating on its importance.

ps: i guess its to be expected, but i was really impressed by how well spoken and accomplished my interviewer was. its weird to say, and im not sure if ive drank too much of the gsb koolaid but his presence was the right mix of confidence and humility (IMHO). needless to say, i really hope i get in. again, GL to everyone waiting.

Hey I just had the "Event" section added to my online account with Stanford. I recall several others reporting this a couple of weeks ago, but didn't see any follow-up with respect to whether they had been invited to interview.

Anyone have any intel on this? I assume at this point I am getting dissed, but would be super thrilled to find out otherwise.

And, for the roll call: White Male / Non-Ivy / 3.7 / 750 / 4 years of PE (middle market) & IB (bulge bracket)... yeah, not that interesting...

I had the event panel in my account from the beginning - to be sure I verified that with a new account. it's always there, maybe you just haven't seen it or it hadn't been displayed due to technical reasons. Anyway, from what I understood, people found the events they had attended in their event panels. Is that what happened to your profile? It never happened to mine (even though I visited campus from continental Europe ).

In theory there might be a slim chance but I think they are almost done - and with my profile I have already given up end of last week.

I'm going to pile on with the end-of-the-road train. I pretty much see a slim-to-none chance for any positive response from the GSB. Although, I am still hoping for a non-interview waitlist.

Good luck to you too! I got to Pensacola in June of 2002.

2 questions for GSB R1 WListed candidates:
1) has anyone who was WL w/o an interview received an interview invite?
2) did you ever receive some sort of confirmation that your acceptance of a WL spot was processed/acknowledged?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if this is the last week for invites to go out? Seems unlikely that any would go out next week given the decision is rendered on 31st.

Definitely the last week. I'd guess maybe 5-10 more invites will go out Thursday/Friday max so things aren't looking too great

Great, thanks! I think I was in desperate need of closure, so that helped big time

Congratulations to all who got interviews - good luck on the 31st.

Cheers!

I have been following both this forum and BW since begining of Feb and I have seen fewer than 15 invites have gone out (since begining of Feb)...wondering whether most of the invites have gone out....Anyone called Stanford Admission Office lately? Wondering whether it's time to give up hope and move on....

Sadly, it is definitely time to give up hope

Not everyone that gets an interview comes to the forums to post

You are probably right cyrez8....may have to start considering other choices (_ _!)

Nothing from the GSB yet. Looks like I will be in the application pool again next year.... ugh.

I haven't heard anything either. I wish they'd just ding you immediately instead of making you wait.

Hey guys! I am looking for a roommate in Palo Alto (or anywhere around there) starting July. PM me if you're interested.

Hey guys, I was wondering if there were any Stanford R3 applicants here? I kinda ended up in S's R3 by accident. I hit submit on my application on Jan 6th about 2 hours late :*( I received an error that said the round I was applying to was no longer available and I should change that part of my application... so yeah, R3 woohoo!
