Don't count on gmatclub count. Only a small fraction of MIT applicants even know that this forum exist. I guess that whoever doesn't get an invite in one hour can join me in dingland

Sure, but looking at round 1 on the first page, we see that 340 people applied and around 150 got interviews and 50 were admitted (or is it that 100 were interview and 50 were admitted, not 100% sure how to read it). Still, even accounting for the lower number applying for round 2, and a reduced Round 2 acceptance rate, 18 or 20 or even 30 interview invites is suspiciously low. The numbers are exactly in line with 2016 for Round 1, and the people applying to Round 2, but they had 50+ people invited to interview.
I guess we'll find out tomorrow, but to people invited to interview - are there still many time slots open to pick from?
There are 248 self-identified GMAT Club members who applied to Sloan in R2. There have been 18 invitations extended, of which 3 have changed their status to Interviewed from Invited to Interview (those are mutually exclusive terms - whereas Admitted, Waitlisted and Denied are not mutually exclusive of the interview categories - you can tell by doing the math).
Let's look at history.
In the Class of 2016 there were 242 GMAT Club applicants in R2. Of those 62 were extended interview invitations - 26%.
In the Class of 2015 there were 172 GMAT Club members in R2. Of those 38 were extended interview invitations - 22%.
So let's average the two at 24%. You would think that about 60 interview invitations to the GMAT Club R2 cohort would be extended. We're way off from that - in a "statistically significant" amount.
I think the question about the number of time slots still open is an excellent one - presuming that when you make your interview appointment you can see that.
