Anyone know the order of interview invite releases? I heard that they start with MBB - but not sure if that's a rumour or not..


By the way, here are my stats..
* European girl (LGBT)
* Global top 20 university (non-US) - ranked #1 in class
* 3yrs MBB
* 710 (low quant..)

From a friend (rather than official sources) who know people at my company who got interview invites very early last year and drew that conclusion.
I would presume that they do do some segmentation initially and then obviously review each application carefully, no?

Agree - heard this before many times. Friends with consulting background who were admitted all heard in first two weeks or so. People with non-traditional background (e.g., aviation and social impact) all heard in last week or 10 days. Obviously doesn't mean that they won't change it this year and start with a different industry. This is experince from friends over last 3-4 years.

I didn't apply to HBS this round (I'm spreading my applications out across all three round due to work.. gotta love MBB.. sigh) - but plan to apply in R2 if I am unsuccessful with GSB.

Obviously, interview emails can come any day between now and mid-November, but do they typically come at the same time of day (e.g., 12PM PST?) This is so much harder than waiting for the HBS interviews when everything was on three days and came at noon :x
