is all hope lost for people like me who have applied in R1 and haven't received an interview invite yet?
anyone else in the same boat?
I finally dropped an email to the adcom only to receive a generic reply "Your application is currently under review"
and this is the first and only time I have mailed them in the last two months.
Has anyone received any invites this week?

Had my interview today... She was really nice to talk to... However though everything went fine apparently, it only lasted for 35 mins. Hence I am assuming that something went very wrong... :(

There are two interview slots left. I've got one of them but haven't reserved yet.

All interviews have to be completed by noon on 1/7, and there are two spots left the morning of 1/7 and that's it. Not looking good.

You never know what might happen as other schools release decisions. A friend just withdrew post interview from Darden bc of an offer somewhere else.

More spots for the rest of us.

I have not heard anything from Darden, no interview invite. I may be withdrawing from Darden soon as I just got 2 admits over the last 12 hrs. Good luck to all!

well I would not call it interview decisions. It looks like they are going to do a ding list next week for people that will NOT be interviewed so that they have time to apply to other schools for round 2.

If anyone wants to watch the video here is the link

Don't worry too much about how many slots are left. When I went in for my interview, each time slot was booked at least 6 times over with multiple interviews going on at that time period.

The Admissions Office will be closed from Wednesday, December 22nd through Monday, December 27th. I think the last bunch of invites (if there are any) and the dings will be released before the 22nd.

Pretty much game over for those without invites. :(

The endless wait for Darden to revert (had my interview for this dream school on Dec. 7th)... about 4 weeks to go, with results expected by 12th Jan.
Anyone with similar anxieties? Any recommendations for steps to be taken / interaction needed that could give me an edge?

Besides Darden, have received admits from
1) Wash U in St. Louis (Olin) with a half-tuition waiver Dean's scholarship (worth $45,000 approx)
2) Boston U mba with a $60,000 Dean's prize scholarship

Profile:
GMAT: 740 (AWA 6.0), GPA: 3.47 (from mediocre engg. colg. in India), TOEFL: 111
Work-ex: 3 yrs in adv/mkt (with O&M for tech client) + 1 yr as software engg (Infosys)
Extra-currics & social work: Impressive

I ask for help in deciding between these two safe schools... MBA in Brand Management, manufacturing/technology industry is my focus. From an MBA in Brand Management for my desired industry point-of-view BU (US News #31) seems to be winning - but WUSTL wins hands-down in terms of rankings for mba program (US News #19) and also university rankings (US News #13). The 2 are quite well-matched in placement statistics...
