Guys/Gals, if you are in the Seattle/Portland area and have received an invite please post.



I'm from Seattle and have not yet heard anything from Stanford. Was rejected w/o interview by Wharton last week, and went 0 for 4 a year ago, so I'm not necessarily optimistic.

It's game over for India dude. Couple of my friends have already gotten invites, so it's either a ding or a WL.

Their website says you can be offered a waitlist spot without an interview, and then they interview you if accept the spot on the waitlist.

You can be waitlisted without being interviewed and be interviewed later :

Quote:
If you are offered a place in the waitpool without an interview, you may be interviewed after you accept your spot in the waitpool.

We have typically seen invites being sent out on Sunday as well. Anyone receive the elusive interview invite yesterday.
Hard to believe no one in the northwest has received anything yet!

Why am I here reading this? It's torture.

Stanford is the only school I applied to (I know, ridiculous, but it's the only school I was passionate about) and now I'm just going to feel like **** for the next few months.

Sorry dude, but when it comes to stanford, forget about passion. Even when you have a gmat score of 800, applying to stanford is still more of a lottery. I guess we are all passionate about the school like you are but please start thinking about alternatives.

If you are young and can apply next year, it's fine. But only applying to Stanford means you are a glutton for punishment. It's worse than a lottery because they give the illusion that you can figure out how to win. At the end of the day, only the admissions committee knows why they let anyone in. Like abou says, apply elsewhere if you're set on going to bschool!

I knew it was a crapshoot and tried not to get to emotionally into it. But I still did :)

I'm in the same boat as you. I only applied to Stanford, which seems silly to most people, but there really isn't another school that meets the criteria I am looking for. I'm trying to be unemotional about this, but at the end of the day it's difficult to brush rejection off when you pour this amount of heart and effort into something. I'm still hopeful of course, but starting to think hard about what I plan on doing if I don't get in. The good news is that in a couple of weeks I will have full clarity around what my path going forward looks like. This awful period of uncertainty is nearing its end.

By the way, let me ask. Has anyone come across an article detailing what happens after an applicant presses the submit button? I realize almost all schools have that on clearadmit except stanford. The process is so opaque!!!!
