Not expecting anything before 3-5 PM CT.
I think they have plenty in their hands so they'll need the whole day to finish.

Agreed. It's going to be one massive wave. My gut tells me closer to 2pm rather than noon CST.

Hi everyone. Best of luck to all those waiting for their invite invitations! :)

Need your two cents on something. They're having a hard time matching me to an alumni interviewer in my home country, so they're giving me a choice - either to fly to Singapore (3:30 flight) and interview with an alumni, or have a phone interview with a 'member of the admissions staff'. Which choice do you guys think is better? Flying out to SG might show my dedication to the school, but having my interview with someone from admissions would be less subjective (imo). Help please!!

My advice: travel! I think that the "member of the admissions staff" is an "admissions associate" (i.e., a 2-year current student who helps the admissions office by conducting on-campus interviews), not an "admissions officer". I assume that because you will generally be interviewed either by current students or by alumni, not by admissions officers.

So I think that you should interview with the alumni and show your excitement. Also, I think you can show more "you" if you interview in person, and therefore it is of your best interest to be interviewed by an alumnus in person.

All the best!


Holy moly did you apply to the whole M15? That's a lot of essays my friend.

Of course not! Only 7 schools, although I'm following deadlines for other schools in R2/R3.

Haha, only 7. I was killing myself getting three done. Though, I didn't start essays until one week before the deadline for each school.

Only in HBS and Stanford

To make a long story short: I was applying last year, but I found out I had cancer 2 weeks after starting to prepare the application process. I had to wait a year before healing and applying. So I had a lot of time to reflect on essay questions, study for the GMAT, etc. Therefore, I managed to explore different options on my R1 applications. :)
