Hi, has anyone NOT been paired with an interviewer just yet? It's been a week so I just wanted to check if this is par for the course.
I haven’t been paired yet. I’m going to send an email to region manager next Monday.

Great! Are you doing an in-person interview or skype?
I see you are in an exotic location so wondering what they offered you and what you chose :)

Haha, in-person interview in Nairobi. Hence, the extension in the interview deadline. They never offered Skype, so I didn't ask, because I didn't want to seem un-keen on the school!

Hi! If one does get accepted to LBS, does anyone what the timelines are to pay the non-refundable fee to the school?

Thanks for bringing it up. I am going to troll the Decision Tracker later today to pull this up.

Here are the interview invite stats for the last application season. Pardon my hasty Excel skills.

In general, last year out of 326 applicants, 124 were invited to interview
Out of those 124, 56% were admitted. The admit rate was different slightly for R1 vs. R2 (R3 or R4 are not show here) but you can get those stats on the LBS Decision Tracker - just toggle off the rounds.

Hope this answers your question Hoagie and gives some peace of mind :cool:

P.S. Let me know if any other stats/numbers questions - I like to play with the decision tracker/etc.

Wow that’s very helpful, thank you!
Comparing to this year (23/86), it seems that they are sending out fewer invites this year. Or people are just not reporting until they got admitted.

Do ensure you take care to dot the i's and cross the t's on your application, as it has a lot of information that needs to be captured, and they seem to take the application form itself very seriously. [#permalink]

There is definitely a difference in the number of data points.
Last year we had 180 Applicant records for R1 (these are submitted even after R1 is over and later). This year we have 120 so far, so 33% fewer or I guess the other way would be to say we have 50% more last year than this year (120 --> 180).

But the interview invites do not add up. We only have 23 reported. It is likely that the additions later will be mostly admits. I guess we'll see in a few months how it goes. Sometimes people don't discover GMAT Club until later in their applications waiting process.
