Booth (Chicago): Calling all applicants - Class of 2016

except for the fact that Booth explicitly stated the opposite:

"It’s important to note that the order of how we will release decisions from Monday through Friday is random and not indicative of your admissions decision, geography or initial application date."

*no reason to worry over this - notifications come when they come. worst case scenario is like 48 hours away.

I'm aware of what Booth has already stated bro.

I feel the same way, and I'm not sure GMATClub is necessarily a good representation of all applicants. I know plenty of people who applied to b schools over the past few years who didn't really go on forums.

Yep but 16 out of 324 from round 1 - that's miniscule

You may already know, but to someone who hadn't read that Booth statement your post reads in a way that might lead to unnecessary concern.

Just trying to save someone some anxiety.

Good call; I've edited my post.

As for the 16/324 thing, I'm skeptical that there are 300+ gmatclubbers that actually went through with applying, but do hope maxo's right!

Either way I expect 50% of Gmatclubbers to be invited to interview. So at least like to see that invited to interview figure to 100 (conservative). As opposed to 16, plenty of spots to go around guys!

Don't be phased!

maybe we'll all hear good news tomorrow.

Does anyone else's GMAT status next to Booth's app have a cross next to it? I did my gmat 2 years back and just put the score in the app along with a pdf scan (I think)..

Just checked my online status and saw the interview invite. No email notification. Located on the East Coast.

Just got one too!!

I also just received one. I am located in Chicago

Sigh, congrats dudes. Guess we'll keep holding out. Appears as if they sent some out at 4:00 PM CST.

Congrats ppl! ATB for the interview!

More than 50% of invites will be released between tomorrow and Friday.

This is not a fact, it is just something I wish.

Cheers

If by cross, you mean a red X with the word 'Awaiting' next to it, then yes I have that as well. I took and submitted my GMAT 8+ months ago. I think it just takes a bit to match up the documents, and frankly I think all they are looking for at this stage is the self-reported scores.

Not sure if I answered your question...

I don't think a large percentage of people on this site mark that they were/are "invited to interview." Last year, on this site, 18 out of 231 Round 1 applicants marked that they were "invited to interview" (7.79%) (despite 124 of those 231 later marking that they "interviewed"). So far this year, 18 out of 324 Round 1 applicants have marked that they've been "invited to interview" (5.55%).

If we're in the mood to use these small sample sizes to make irrational guesses, approximately 71.25% (5.55%/7.79%) of Round 1 interview invitations have been extended so far. That would represent a fairly equal distribution over five days. Hopefully there will be a significant number of Round 1 invitations extended tomorrow and/or Friday...
