Your application is complete and currently under review.

@ Sangoman

I didnt receive an email confirming my application status.

I logged in to check my application status.

I am not sure how significant is that. I have read a couple of msgs on BW forums saying that one should expect an invite within a couple of weeks of change in application status.

Personally I dont believe that view. or am I being too optimistic??

I have a question. My status on the Stanford website says

Submission Status: Submitted
Submitted Date: "Omitting submission date"
Your application is complete and currently under review.

Does this mean my status has changed or should the status in red change to under review. just curious

thnx dude.......will go check my status today.

btw ppl who are regular on other forums.......any news of anyone getting Stan interview invits yet???

Hi guys, I was directed to this forum from a post in BW.

Let me introduce myself.. I am another anxious applicant who submitted in R1. It's the only school I applied as it is my dream school. erm, the main concern is my GMAT score. 570. (yay... i know what u feel ) Working 16 hours a day and only have 3 weekends in last 6 months, I just can't get a time to study and retake. Simple as that.

Good luck to all of the applicants, (incl me, I certainly need lots of luck). Cheers

On BusinessWeek I have seen a post where somebody mentioned 4-5 Stanford applicants getting their interviews. I would advise not to worry about them - the timing for interviews is not preset - and - "we will get into or we will not get into" - see above posts

don´t worry too much about Stanford interviews. They emphasize that they invite as they read, and will continue to invite until Jan 11th. So no need to worry too much. But if anyone does get an invite, do let all of us know so we can wish you luck!

Got a mail from Stan today


Dear Sangoman,

We are contacting you because you registered for a Stanford Graduate School of Business MBA information session this fall. We thank you for your interest and hope you found the session valuable.
To help us improve our information sessions, we would greatly appreciate it if you could provide some feedback about your experience. The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. Individual responses will remain anonymous and will have no bearing on a future (or current) application to the Stanford GSB. If possible, we would appreciate your taking a few minutes now, to complete the survey. Please submit responses by Friday, November 30, 2007.



SADISTIC BAS@#$DS

I hear you sango !!!!

Yeah, that email for the survey about made me smash something.

LOL same here

to top it .. is said 'Stanford Admissions' !!!!!

The same survey request for me God, thank you I am not alone with that sadistic message!

They might intend to distress us but seem to do the opposite thing. Have you noticed the request/demand - "please submit responses by Friday, November 30, 2007"? Will it effect our review/ admission if we miss that deadline?

why risk it........do the damn thing an make them out to be descendents of Zeus to boot

At least you guys got a survey request! I'm feeling like a super loser now

I swear, they are doing this just to screw with us. Thank goodness Gmail shows both the sender and subject together, so I saw immediately it was a survey. And right now I am quite relaxed (Pisco Sours are delicious, in small amounts), so I can forgive them. Just this time.

for sure! for sure! had my HOPES WAY UP FOR JUST A SECOND!!
