Stanford GSB 2013 - Calling all Applicants

LOL, that is very dependent on your view of tons. Based on my view of tons I would strongly disagree with you. Median around 730, so 50% below 730, and I would guess that at least half of those are above 700...so less than 25% of the total # of interviews = maybe 200ish people.

My point was that it is clearly wrong to state "they have not interviewed a single person with a GMAT below 700", when clearly they have.

25% of all interviews below 700 is still a very sizable number.

pike - something tells me you're indian.

Nope.

The mean is 730. I believe the median is 740. My guess is only about 10% of accepted applicants have below a 700. Think about it this way, for every 600 score they admit, they need to admit 6 people with a score of 750 to maintain that 730 average. Obviously it's all speculation, but the moral of the story is that those with below a 700 have really stood out in other ways.

Hello guys!
Those who got the invit, how long did the interviewer take to contact you back? I sent her an email last thursday and haven't heard of her since.
Thanks!

Posted from my mobile device

just got the interview invite in the email today! (saturday)

phdprospect where are you located?

I've used this forum a ton since I started the B-school application process so I thought I'd contribute as well.

Yesterday (Saturday), I got an interview invite to Stanford GSB after a long waiting period. Re: my background just to give context. I'm an underrepresented minority who attended a non Harvard, Yale, Princeton Ivy, GMAT: 690, GPA: 3.6, Major: Philosophy. WE: 3 years at large hedge fund (>$2BN assets under management), now work for family business since October. Plans after business school: entrepreneurship.

The invitations are still rolling in guys, I know 2 other people who don't use this forum that got invited in the past week. There is still hope.

Wow!!!! An invite on a Saturday is really something to go all out on those shots!!! You should consider yourself blessed. People like me have a never ending wait for an invite and keep refreshing mail and post weird comments on GC.

thanks! all the best to you

Atleast he funded all the application expenses u incurred with enough dough left to hire the best consultants.

Come on, India is 13 hours dif with california+allow for ome for the mail to arrvee. The adcom must have sent the e-mail in the end of their working day on friday..

Look closely. He has posted it today on a sunday morning indian time and I assume he has mentioned saturday to convey that it was a saturday evening in california.
Irrespective of the day and time what matters is that the guy had an awesome morning and that the joy is probably gonna last a very long time. And I hope the same happens with every deserving candidate here...including me

Received the Invite on Saturday.
What is the acceptance percentage out of all the interviews (they mention 50% in the email)? Are we finally just being judged by this interview? Is there another one after?

Thanks!

Marc43, can you please share a little about your background? Where are you located?
