An OCD friend of mine said that he really prefers the HBS method over the Stanford one. HBS is clear and does not leave you hanging. It's a clean break up/proposal that is communicated to you on a specified date. You know when to check and where. Stanford on the other hand keeps you in this constant state of torture. There's a month long countdown and every day you assume you are even closer to being turned down. While you may have no idea what the status of your actual application is you are indeed a locked soul checking your email on a daily basis. When that doesn't help you go to GMATClub and see that other people are getting interviews. You're neither here nor there. Then you start checking your GSB account to see maybe you didn't get the email for some reason (hey, it happens). Every day the angst and the pressure builds up and you keep thinking: 19 out of 20 applicants don't get in.

A month is a long time to turn you crazy.

Received interview invite today (was actually in a library when I read the email and let out a yell of shock-->stares ensued). GSB is by far my dream program...I'm in total disbelief. Hang in there everyone! The trickle is happening slowly but surely.

Thanks! I'm in New England. Applied Round 1 and was wait pooled, so this is all the sweeter. Best of luck everyone, keep up your hope and determination.

It really sucks when schools keep you in suspense for such a long time. Stanford is such a tough school to get into. Even if you manage to get an interview, your chance of acceptance is still less than 50%.

Good luck to everyone!
