Unfortunately I have no clue on international. Regardless... it really doesn't sound like many have gotten out yet. Plus if you believe them, there's really no logical order to when things go out.

Thanks on the kudos... I'm really excited! I figured i'd just apply to my two top choices this year to see what would happen... I thought I had a chance... but didn't expect this! :-)

On the profile, I don't want to say much until after decisions are released on January 21/22. But basically I have excellent GMAT, so-so grades, and excellent, unique and diverse work experience. I'll be happy to go into more detail, regardless of outcome, come January 22nd.

egy, do you know of any invite released to international applicants yet?

Kudos on the interview invite (2/2!) to you and msday86, and please share your profile, especially your work experience!

Good luck, I hope you both get in come January.

What do we think? 30% of interview invitations remaining?

Getting anxious. :(

Probably more than 30%, I really think that Stanford evaluates them as they come.

Nice! I am one of the only older applicant (29 at mat) to have received an invite. I find it hard to compete with the younger crowd for HBS and Stanford :shock:

Seems like by mistaking msday86 for falibay (kudos to you too!) I brought him luck!

Now it would be nice to get an invite myself...

Thanks terry12 for the words of comfort, there's also a bit of a psychologist in you.

Stanford is the "handmade" of the admission processes, yet it's tough not to think your app has been already seen, and dissed.

Congrats msday86!! Hope your interview invite translates into an admit. Good luck.

I agree with terry12, and my guess is that the adcom. has read only 30-40% of the apps so far. Those who are still waiting (including myself) still have a good chance. Let's keep our hopes up.

Thanks! I've been antsy for the past few weeks. Didn't expect to get 3/3, but now I'm hoping I can convert just one of them!

Hope we both get in :)
