No interview invites since last tuesday? Anyone hear anything from other forums?
There are total of 10 candidates who have reported interview invites on Beat the gmat forums. So I am guessing about half of them are sent out. And the rest will keep trickling in until 1st week of Dec.
How do you conclude that? They should be interviewing about 400 candidates in R1 and assuming 10% representation here, there should be about 30-40 candidates invited to interview. I would say this week should see a lot of action and then hope wanes next week onwards.
Yeah - Surprisingly, this forum has reported very few invites for Stanford compared to BTG. Here is the calculation that somebody on BTG forum performed. Again, this is all speculation and nobody really knows anything for sure.
"My guess is roughly half of the invites have already been sent out. HBS has already extended all of their R1 invites, and on the HBS forum, 38 of 423 people (9%) applying R1 have reported receiving invites. HBS interviews about 18-19% of its candidates each year. Assuming people on this forum are representative of the entire pool, this means about 48-49% (38/(0.185*423)) of the people on the HBS forum who were invited to HBS interviews actually reported receiving their invites. There are 283 people on this forum applying to Stanford for R1, so if you apply the same percentage for Stanford, which interviews about 15-16% of its candidates, it appears that there should be ~21 (0.485*0.155*283) people reporting receiving interview invites. The fact that there are 10 people reported receiving their invites would imply that roughly half (10/21) of hte invites have already been sent out"
