Calling all Chicago-Booth Applicants: (2017 Intake) Class of 2019!!

I think you might be on to something here with the batches of applicant groups receiving invites in waves. That said, has anyone gotten an invite from the heavy machinery/industrial manufacturing sector?

Doing some nervous data mining of my own it looks like you're correct but last year invites went out much sooner unlike this year. Also the year before last, seems like a lot of invites were sent out the last day. So there might be hope for tomorrow, likely false hope but have to keep spirits up some how

Last year's application deadline was earlier.

Anyone know someone from consumer goods get an invite?

Yeah, I'm from Canada and just got the invite. What part of Canada are you from?

Congrats buddy! Just long meaning how long back?

True but it was approx. the same as this year but they started sending out invites much sooner (like a week almost I think). Either rate we'll find out tomorrow (or hopefully this evening for a lucky few)!

So doing some quick digging from last year, there almost has to be a flood of invites that will come out tomorrow or one of two things has happened:

1) GMATClub applicants are suddenly extremely uncompetitive or
2) Booth is interviewing FAR fewer applicants this year

I say this because, according to the class of 2018 thread, the number of first round applicants that have a status of "interviewed" (I believe this doesn't even count the ones that changed their status from Interviewed to Accepted/Matriculating/Dinged) is 119 out of 275 applicants. There are 285 applicants in the first round this year, so I believe it's reasonable to expect approximately 120 or so invites from that, which so far it appears there are only about 30.

Many congratulations. Still waiting to hear back here. I am from Vancouver. What about you?

Agreed - my thought process was the same when I pulled those stats. Thanks for typing it out!

2017 thread had about 40% interviewed in first round too, so I'd think ~120 would be a good guess too. I guess we just give it time. Everything moves slower in Hyde Park

Readying this thread and everyone's data analysis is driving me nuts... BUT I just couldn't help refreshing the page and see if there's any more input

Don't worry my friend. I heard Booth rewards data driven mindset. We were just trying to practice before the interview hahaha (wahaha04)

Now about that interview call...anyone got anything new ??

Seems like a new batch just went out without emails according to LiveWire.

Yeah, mostly in the US (barring one in Moscow).

Nothing for me in India yet :/

Oh man. I just visited Booth yesterday, travelling all the way from India and spending all those money. Hope they at least give me an interview this time.
