Out of curiosity, can one be waitlisted without interview? I assume it ain't possible.

My understanding from prior reading is that yes, it is possible.

Just got the call. He was VERY polite and kind.

However, for those of you waiting up anxiously, he said I was in his west coast stack by accident. So, don't take it as a sign one way or another if you haven't heard by tonight but aren't on the west coast -- he emphasized his lessons in manners say he shouldn't be calling this late, and it sounded like he had more calls for tomorrow.

Good luck to all!

Congrats! What an amazing feeling especially after your other 2 options not going as well!

Stanford >>> MIT ;) (JMO)

Congrats! :)

Do you know whether you are planning on GSB or the other schools you were admitted to?

I might be in the same shoes as you (reapplying) so may have some PM's coming your way! :)

Congrats!!! Very impressive track record!

But I have to say I am a bit jealous: you hop out of the shower at 11:20AM on a Wednesday but managed to get into Stanford... What is your job? Can I have your recipe? :-D

Congrats to all who received calls from DB. Considering I'm on the east coast, a ding or WL is likely. Unfortunately for me, I was also WL last year, so this definitely sucks.

I have a feeling the essays were my main weakness; I actually didn't change too much from last year thinking this year was going to be less competitive. <- Def a poor strategy. :(

I've now been WLed at Wharton, Sloan, and Haas, and perhaps also Stanford, so I may be applying again; maybe I'll be that 3rd attempt Stanford MBA student! Peace!

mTORC1 - I think I'm in your same shoes. (Remember me from last year? Also WLed at Stanford, re-app this year). Long time lurker here for the past month or so since I received the Stanford invite. Wasn't too hopeful for the actual admit but alas, it proved too hard not to be. Well, we gave it a good fight. Cheers to all and congrats!
