I also got invited today. Submitted Oct 21.

Submitted on Oct. 22, and got invited today! There are still many slots for Skype interview opened.

Hi, Congrats for the interview.. can you please give a brief on ur profile?

Out of curiosity are you a Indian Candidate living in India or outside India?

Congrats tarunsengar and all the best for the interview!!

Congrats to everyone with invites. I read in last year's thread that Anderson seems to go by industry as they review applications. The majority of those that have invites so far seems to come from the financial industry so it may lend some credence to that.

i had a 740 GMAT 49/41 Q/V 3.6 from a top public university; econ major insurance industry with 3 years of experience

To give you an extra data point, I am not finance. Far from it. I come from a nontraditional background.

It was actually your profile that gave me a pause along with backspacebar; every other applicant with an interview (that I can tell) has some sort of banking/insurance/finance driven background. Though you both did submit a month before the deadline. The fact that invites have been coming so fast after the deadline for those that submitted on the deadline really leads me to believe that there is some sort of grouping going on here. BTW, congrats on the invite.
