well i just spent a lot of time i should have spent working analyzing the R1 invitations.
So first person reported on October 16th and the 24th was the last day. Here was the breakdown (reported on the thread)
Oct 16: 2 people 1.52 EST
Oct 17: nothing (think it was Booth Live)
Oct 18-19: weekend - nothing
October 20 : 13 people 1:52 est
October 21: 6 people 1:00 EST
October 22: 8 people 1:18 est
October 23: 11 people 12:42 EST
October 24: 14 people + dings 4:30 EST
2 takeaways
1. the emails are sent in one batch
2. they really do send emails on the last day...in fact, that was the highest reported day for R1. and there really was no correlation date between invite date and A/D/WL
Nice data analysis! I'd agree with you especially on takeaway #2 - I was invited to interview on Oct 23 and was admitted.
