Hello hello, I am new to the forum but have been reading it through the past few months. Any invites today? I have basically given up hope for GSB now.

I appreciate all the information provided in this forum. Here's another data point to add to the tally. Received my interview invite at 3:20pm PT today. I had already written Stanford off...

My profile: F/26/Asian/740/3.5/top 5 college/5yrs WE/IB & PE/re-applicant

Good luck to everyone! Keep hope alive.

Debunks my hypothesis that they read apps based on industries. Maybe they are onto the re-apps now?

I think I should burry my hope. I mean, their final decision is at the end of March. So, it is hardly manageable to schedule an interview, submit and make a decision from now on. The process will simply take too long, I guess it's over.

I know of people who have been invited to interview *days* before the decision date and been accepted. GSB will keep inviting people right up until the last minute.

There's no point losing hope at this stage. Given that the process is almost entirely opaque and that there's no discernable batching of invitations by geography/industry/age etc then nothing can be gleaned from the timing of your (pending) invitation and our applications have just as much chance now as they did when we first applied.

Good luck all!

Thank you Ramsay for keeping our hopes up!

When I visited Stanford, I met a guy who didn't get his interview invite until March 13th or so, so it's still not too late!

My prayers are with you all

just to keep the hope alive a bit...at the bottom of the int invite email there is a list of FAQs...here is an exerpt regarding the timing of invites:

6. Is there any significance to when I received my interview invitation?

No, the timing of your interview invitation reflects only the order in which your application was reviewed. Interview invitations are extended from about a week after the round's deadline until about a week before the round's notification date, because it takes the Admissions Committee that entire period to review all applications thoroughly.

So there is still some time not to mention the fact that if you get an invite late it is no indication that you are a relatively weak candidate.
