Impressive, good job for getting invites from all the schools you applied to!!!

I got the impression that if they send out invites in the morning, they won't send any more in the afternoon, and vice versa: at most one sending per day... so, is it game over for today?

Just received an invite email at 4 PM EST!! I am very excited, almost jumped up and screamed while sitting around with a bunch of clients

Stanford is the only school I applied to, so I really hope they take me.
Any stats on what % of interviewees get offers for second round?

If anyone is interested:
GMAT: 99th percentile
Ivy engineering, cum laude
Finance / Consulting job(s)
Startup on the side, hoping to do full time soon
Canadian, over-represented minority, work in East Coast US

GO CARDINALS!!!

Thank you to all the members of this forum who have been sharing their statistics, experiences, and feedback. I don't think I could have survived this long wait without you all.

I received an invitation to interview with Stanford today at 1:10PM. I submitted my application in Round 2 at around 4:20 PM so pretty much right before the deadline. I am F/Top CA Public/3.7 GPA/3 Years WE/Non Feeder Industry/Solid E.C

I leave you all with this quote: "Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."

Good Luck to all of you.

What do y'all think at this point? If we haven't heard, are we down to just trickles of interview invites? Or do you think there are still a substantial amount of opportunities left? Seeing the mass wave of MIT dings today was pretty disheartening.

There are probably still a good number of interviews left. Stanford sends interview invites up until the last minute. The voicemail message for the GSB even says interview invites will go out until 3/30!

It feels like Stanford is offering their decisions bit by bit, carefully considering every application and outweighing the class. Gives me hope that they continue until 3/30.

Hello, fellow applicants. Is there anybody applying from Venezuela? any latin-american based invites?

I was just dinged by MIT, although I've been accepted to both IE and IESE. I dont know my chances, of course, as everybody who applies for Stanford (in my opinion) has the profile and fit for it. The MIT forum is at this time very depressive, actually...

Cheers, and cograts/best wishes for everybody who got an invite!

I didn't get it either. Maybe you guys have subscribed to some sort of reminder/newsletter before submitting the application? Something like HBS' "Introduce Yourself"?

I just had my interview yesterday with an alum in Mexico City. I found the interviewer to be extremely likable and had very interesting background. To my suprise, the interview was much like Wharton's in terms of behavioral questions. I only got four questions and only the first one was "normal". He started off by talking about himself and by telling me that the questions would be behavioral based. Then the questions began.

1) What is your biggest accomplishment and why?
2) Tell me about a time when you dealt with frustration.
3) Tell me about a time when you overused authority (not the exact way he told me, but he was basically asking me of a time when I used my authority too much as an entrepreneur)
4) Tell me about a time when you worked on a team that exceeded expectations.
5) Tell me about a time when you worked in a difficult team setting.

He then proceeded to talk about his experience in the GSB, we talked about other schools, and he told me that the only guy he interviewed for the first round was not admitted... Hopefully that's not the case here! Good luck to everyone!
