Yikes well I certainly do not want to cause any anxiety.. I just found it helpful to know how they were trickling out while I was waiting, but I absolutely do not want to cause unnecessary stress. Unless anyone else wants them, I'll cut them off. Sorry for the stress MVICTOR!

Congrats. I think they are helpful. At least we know that invites trickle in and chances are still there. You ahve done a good job there.

Livewire shows 2 more invites today.

Can you share your stats? location, gmat, exp etc.

Best of luck.

Thanks! I am hesitant to share my stats because I am paranoid about maintaining my anonymity. I am based in California and have scores/grades well within the typical ranges - very strong but not elite. Top 5 Liberal Arts undergrad. Finance / tech background.

On another note: for anyone who has received an invite- how long between confirming your location info and being matched with an interviewer?

You should definitely not contact the adcom about this. They just ask for that information for data-collection/analyzing purposes -- it doesn't affect your candidacy at all. Contacting them about this would come off like you are not well informed about how the purpose works (or it could be seen like you're just wanting to "check in" with them during a very busy time on their end, which could annoy them). Hope that helps!

Hi all

Another conundrum I am finding myself in. This is about my father's qualification. I knew he had done a bachelors from a very well known university in India (one of the IITs) and I wrote that on my application.

However, now, I came to know that he was also studying for his own MBA, via distance learning and he has completed it. He now has an MBA degree from a not-very-well-known-college.

Should I update the adcom of the change in my father's qualifications? This is potentially an embarrassing situation. The adcom might think that she doesn't know what her own father is upto. Will this raise eyebrows?

Hi Erika,

Do you know what Stanford's process is re: interview invites? It's been 10 days since they started distributing them and I was curious whether thye do this by region, pre-mba career, post-mba career etc.?

What I can confidently say is that it's impossible to know their method for sending out invites, but what I DO know is that they will send out invites right up until the very last day of their stated invite range. My past clients have gotten invites on the final day, and there seems to have been no discernible pattern over the past eight years I've been doing this. Meaning it's not like a certain country, industry/role, etc. consistently got invites at the beginning, middle or end of the range. Trying to figure out that sort of thing is a sure recipe for crazy-making! : )

So really all I can assure everyone still waiting to hear is that it truly "ain't over till it's over." My clients who have gotten invites on the last day of the range were ultimately accepted, so it's not like they're sending out invites to the "best" people first or anything like that.

Hope that helps to calm some nerves!

Good luck to everyone!

Hey Erika,

That's very insightful indeed!

Do you know (approx.) how much time one has for preparation after they got an invite?
Or, if you will, what is typically the latest date you can schedule interview on? : )

This process of waiting for a month just totally destroys all planing with it's uncertainty...

Thanks. Looks like you added msx invites to this. Last 3 livewire updates are msx.

erica: Thank you for your guidance here. If someone receives an interview invite for MSx, will that affect chances of getting an invite for mba?

My clients have interviewed with local alums around the world, and they ask applicants to complete those interviews within two weeks of receiving the invite and assigned alum. Most of my clients have had theirs done within a week. I did have one client a few years ago who got her invite on the last day and then had a very very hard time scheduling an alum interview (she was in China and flew to another city for it). It took a few different alum assignments and more than two weeks. They were very understanding and she is a second-year there now!

Hope that helps!

Yeah.. i realized this too late... unfortunately didn't remove msx from the historical data set either... so to remove it from the actuals would skew the numbers.... my bad...
