Got my invite this morning! CA resident submitted on 1/8. I got the "you have an update" email this morning & the good news via the application website (note - it won't tell you anything new on the initial page, you have to click through to the announcement post).

Good luck everyone else.

Denied this AM by email.

Stats on me:
I Banking for 4 years
660 GMAT

I applied to Chicago, IE, Maryland and USC. Maryland and USC have a special place in my heart (family legacy).

Got accepted to all except Chicago. I am 98% sure I am going to IE. I am making my final decision within the next week.

For all of you not admitted, to make it a little easier I'll share with you what I told my brother this morning after finding out the news. I told my brother after being rejected from Chicago that I am going to use this denial as motivation. I am going hold this against the U of Chicago for the rest of my life just like Kobe Bryant holds it against the 12 odd teams that passed on drafting him.

Hope this helps some of you deal with the frustration. Just laugh at the schools that denied you and in 20 years when you give a big donation to the school you do attend make sure to let Chicago know what a exceptional candidate they missed out on.

Cheers

If I'm reading this correctly, the count looks like this for R2:

Monday - 10 invites
Tuesday - 10 invites
Wednesday - 9 invites
Thursday - TBD
Friday - TBD

Looks like a more even spread compared to R1, at least so far. Good luck to everyone who (like me) is still waiting for that invite from Booth. See you all around 9 am CST tomorrow!
Now that the Thursday wave seems to be complete, here's today's update on interview invites:

Thursday - 19
Friday - TBD

I think that using failure as motivation or as a catalyst for future success is a great idea. However, there's no need to be bitter or to have so much resentment. It's not Booth's fault that you were not able to portray yourself as a compelling enough candidate. They just based their decision on the information they had to work with...that you provided. You're not a victim, you just need to work harder...and now you have more motivation to draw from.

Hi and congrats. Do you mind if I ask whether you are an American who is part of the US Army stationed in Korea? Or a Korean nationality serving in the ROK army?
