Maintain hope y'all! I just got an interview invite.

Background: American male from the South - reapplicant (dinged with interview in 2012) - now living in the Bay Area - 3 years MBB consulting (including 1 year secondment at a VC fund in Kenya) + 2 years at big tech (Google, Facebook, Apple) - submitted day of deadline

Also want to say that I don't think location or time of submission has anything to do with it. 2 years ago when I interviewed, my roommate and I were the only 2 R1 interviewees in Kenya. We submitted around the same time, but I received an interview on the very first day they were given out and she received an interview on the very last day. I think Derrick Bolton was being honest in this P&Q post (mentioned 2 weeks ago) when he says that each AdCom member is given a stack based off their expertise, and he/she works his/her way through the stack

Also -- read through last year's blog around this time. Looks like people have done similar analyses in the past correlating dates interviews were extended with time of submission, industry, geography, etc. and everyone is in the same state of confusion because no real correlation exists. It also looks like a big wave went out in the last week last year, so hold on tight!

Based on everything I've heard and seen in prior years, I have to disagree. I fully expect invitations to continue to go out until the last day. Keep it positive in here! No reason to ruin someone's morning

Will be interviewing!

It's been funny watching jlgdr's slow mental deterioration over the past month. It's like watching Anakin slowly convert to the dark side.

Anyways, I think there have been a lot of invites that have gone out this week - more than last week for sure. Things are starting to look dire for the rest of us stranded on the island, but this will make it just that much sweeter if we DO get an invite...

Congrats to everyone who got an invite!

I think, at the end of the day, if they are really reviewing application by splitting a "stack" to each reviewer, there's still hope ... at least for a few more days. But if not, oh well.

Hmm..out of curiosity, do Stanford also send rejection emails in this period. Or do they wait till its 25th night for us to know that we havent made it (I think this was what Booth did).

They wait until the 25th to let us know.
