Thank you!!! I was rejected without interview last year, so this is honestly a surprise! Posted from my mobile device
Congrats!! Fellow reapplicant so that gives hope! Out of curiosity, did you submit your application way ahead of the deadline?

Nope, I submitted on a day or so beforehand.

Does the application status in the portal change to “in review” for those who have received invitations? Or anyone seen that?

Or does yours still say “submitted”?

Hi, I have not received an interview invite. However, I have had my application in review since the Round 1 deadline. I submitted around Sep 1, and the status changed from submitted to in-review day after the deadline. I also got an email from Stanford stating that interview invites will be sent by email, and the status of the application will likely be updated on Dec 8 with the final decision.

Looking at past admission tracker data it appears that the bulk of interview invites are mid to late October for Stanford. The admissions email that is also posted on this thread mentions late September to mid-November as the timeline for interview invites.

I believe it'll turn into in review for everyone soon.

Congratulations, KodlakWhitemane!! And best of luck with the interview! For what it’s worth, I was rejected one year, then was admitted (and attended) the following year (a long time ago!).

Doesn’t everyone’s status say “in review”?

Same for one of my clients, dinged and then submitted the following cycle and was accepted. Just started. We submitted the application on the deadline. He did bring up his test score a bit, which I feel helps get an objective new look if reapplying the following cycle.

Good Day everyone, I am Sodiq from Lagos, Nigeria. I am currently writing my application for R2.

Work experience: Big 4 accounting (2 yrs), start up(2 years), Teaching (1 yr). Extra curricular: National round finalist, Business case competition (Led the team), I have also led various social projects. Let me also point it out that I am a 1st generational graduate with a compelling personal stories

I am not an expert, but I do not think increasing your GMAT would give you significantly better advantages. You have what seems to be a good profile, even if the WE is not as glamarous it is still great. I think you should focus on developing a good essay
