nope, on 4th 3.5 years, 9.12 gpa

All her numbers are stacked. They might have an internal application ranking algorithm as per which they are sending invitations.

I can assure you they don’t. They review application in random order and based on that order, whoever they reviewed and liked got invited in that order Confirmed by Darden adcom

okay.. I was anyways just guessing

I wouldn’t worried if you don’t get invite this month but I’m sure you would!!!

haha.. lol. how can you be sure.. but thanks for the kind words

Cool.. I wish you the best as well. May you achieve what you want !
