No Indian posted on this forum. I like to think that invites are not geography based, but no news for Indian guys yet hints otherwise.

I'm from India and haven't heard yet. C'mon Stanford, I want my b'day gift!

And to those belittling the latest rankings... Do you think you are better qualified to rank schools than the experts at BW? Just because their rankings aren't consistent with those of the other well known raking agencies? Remember, no one believed Galileo when he said Earth revolves around the Sun, just because there was a contrary 'perception' at the time.

That being said, wtf is wrong with you BW?

Got an invite today! Located in Europe, but originally from the US. I submitted my application a few days early.

Good luck to everyone

This certainly helps make me feel a bit better about the Wharton ding and an HBS interview that didn't go particularly well...

maybe employers felt that recruiting at certain places is cheaper.
maybe they do not have to shell out extra for the brand value.

I think its because we fall in "Indian Tech" bucket, which is not one of the most sought off bucket for a B School. We ll have our share of invites later i guess, prolly more closer to deadline. Also, fact that no one from India has heard yet might be an indicator of alumni availability.

Congrats to all who got interviews in the last 24 hours! If you have already done a HBS interview make sure you do a few mocks for GSB as the interview is so drastically different.

Sorry to pop the bubble, but I know 3 people from India who have already received invites. All from top tier private equity & venture funds.

On the same page as you...I know the MF kids haven't heard back yet. Maybe GSB is waiting till the end after HBS interviews are over to release invites to this category of applicants.

Did a quick summary on the invite breakdown by industry if anyone's interested. :-D

Total invite number includes users who reported receiving invites but have not updated profiles or left the forum.

I see a lot of consultants - tough competition going into the final "selection/class-crafting" process. Gd lk!
