Stanford R1 & R2 - pants pooping 06/07 [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 12 Feb 2007, 17:46
Hi gals & guys,

I noticed there was not sticky on Stanford yet, so I'm starting it a post right here right now, as it seems to bring good luck (copyright rhyme). Please anyone help me make this a sticky? (edit by rhyme: Hello! sticky!)

So anyways, here's the list I could gather so far:
Updated with R1 results!

R1ers
saturnring11: 770 GMAT, 3.95 GPA, 27 year old, 3 years as Engineer/Project Manager in Silicon Valley company, 3 years family business, Solid international experience, leadership experience at local and international non-profits. Invited to interview. WAITLISTED.
lepium: 710 GMAT, 3.0 GPA (converted somehow), 1 alumni rec, international experience 3 years in Africa. DINGED
Hindustan: Nov 2006 re-take 730 (Q51, V37), Indian, 3.35 GPA. DINGED

R2ers
Pelihu: 780 GMAT, 2.9 GPA, JD Michigan Law, 4 yrs entrepreneur, 2 years finance/securities lawyer
sgrover: Indian, GMAT 760/GPA 8.64/10, 6.5 yrs high-tech/28 - Involved with setting up an Indian subsidiary and building it from 0-100 in 2.5 yrs/ In bay area for last 1 year.
braindancer: 760 GMAT, 3.15 GPA, 24 y/o, Ukrainian, 4 years w/exp as IT project manager for large multinational (moved our from techie zone to focus on business systems).
DJM: GMAT 730, 3.0 GPA, 4 yrs Work Exp in Big 4 Consulting, Strong recs from employer, client and non-work initative, Indian.
venky_nag: Indian, 9 years work ex, 6 years in a startup, 770 GMAT, GPA 3.5, Undergrad from IIT, 4.0 Grad GPA, good recos. Says he's probably 5 years too old, but will give it a shot anyway.

Anyone else? Any interviewed? I've seen several interviewed at Admissions411 but no admitted yet so I'm still hopeful.

Cheers. L.

I went to Admissions411 to check data from last year, and could not find a single admitted candidate who had been interviewed beyond December! :(

Come on, that's gotta be goofy. They admit plenty of R2 folks, who obviously interview after December.

Relax. What's done is done; trust in the cosmos!

Thanks aaudetat for your support. Just to clarify: I was talking about last year's R1ers. Of course R2ers were interviewed after January.

Anyways, I've gone to Ad411 again, and there's one applicant interviewed on Jan 3rd on this year's R1.

Anyone here been interviewed?

Cheers and g'luck. L.

Hi guys,
Submitted my application today. Thankfully there were no hitches with the uploading of docs, though there were quite a few earlier during trial runs. Now I can finally relax! And wait..
Hope you guys have submitted yours..

I just got bored with the editing process, so I submitted it.. I managed to cut down all essays to the required length, except Essay A which ended up at 5 and half pages. The Goals essay was the toughest for me, but somehow got it done.. I feel much relief now..

7 days to D-day. Our R1 hopes rest with saturnring now. For the rest of us it's either dinged or W/L at the most. :?

R2ers: make us proud!

Hey, gang. Posted this elsewhere, but thought I'd post it here too -

I decided not to apply to Stanford. My stuff wasn't pulled together enough, and I knew that a mediocre attempt was VERY unlikely to give much ROI.
