Hi All

It was such a fun ride here at GMAT club. For all those who are applying to b-schools in round 3 and it the next cycles, all the very best. I will mostly visit this site when it's round 3 decision time, simply because it is so much fun!

So till then, bye

Guys, what are your thoughts, any chance one can get a deferral if accepted from Waitlist?

I got accepted from waitlist. I wrote them a mail explaining them about both my professional as well as personal circumstances which made it nearly impossible for me to join school this year. Was delighted to hear that my request for deferral was accepted.

So, i'll say, go ahead and try to tell them your reasons very sincerely. Good luck!

I turned in my application for R3 on 4/2, and I mistakenly thought I would be less stressed after submission. So here I am, perusing the forum, because I can't get it off my mind! Thankfully there's more than enough incredible info here to keep me busy. Thank you to everyone who provided profile snapshots. I found it to be helpful.

My profile, to try and justify a spot in R3:
Navy pilot for 8 years (a little over 10 years of work experience by the time I exited - the difference being time in flight school at the beginning). I left active duty in February, and made a big move to a different city to explore working in a more dynamic field - energy. I'm at a private renewable energy firm in a hybrid finance/operations role now (think project finance, post-construction). I've had this plan in mind for a couple years: industry experience --> start my own firm in cleantech or renewables technology. Decided I needed an MBA as a key transition step instead of just WE. Stanford's curriculum offerings related to energy are the best thing out there, and I'm from Silicon Valley so it would be an easy transition back home.

Undergrad: top 30; 3.2 GPA in econ & pol sci; club sailing and crew (captain) but extra-curriculars don't matter much at this point since it was so long ago.
Grad: Service school, 3.6 GPA in strategic management
GMAT: 760 (Q49/V45/AWA6/IR7)

I'm on the older side, obviously, and I have kids so I made the case that R1 and R2 didn't work for my timeline since I couldn't swallow that much disruptive change right around the time I was leaving active duty. We'll see what the adcom thinks. Would love to follow up with anyone else applying in R3 just to see what it takes to get in for the most competitive round. Good luck everyone!

Hi Rajeev, I just PM-ed you. Would really appreciate your insights, if you can spend a minute to answer. Thank you in advance!

Nothing yet. I don't think I'll sweat it until a week from now. After talking with a current student (who got in during R2 last year), he didn't hear anything until 10ish days before the notification date.

I was waitlisted R2 and I didn't get my interview invite until 2 days before the end date range for interview invites.

Oh wow, but it seems like it really can be anywhere within the time from app deadline to results release. I suppose they're not like the other schools in that they let you know you didn't advance before the decision date because of this mechanism?

Nugarp, did they only give you 2 days to get the interview done, or was it basically letting you know you'd been waitlisted but they wanted to interview you still?

Sorry I wasn't clear. I still had 10 days to schedule the interview. I interviewed during the regular interview period and was waitlisted on the R2 decision date.
