One more week and then the long wait till March 24. Time to load the refrigerator.

I don't know whether this was mentioned by someone - 'all the R2 interviews have to completed by 3rd March'. So don't worry people. Those getting invites even on 17th February will have more than 2 weeks to prepare.

Cheers,

Unplugged

alpha_plus_gamma, clearly you are not taking this seriously enough. What else is an interview, after all, than a live chat? Now y'all might be schlubbing it up at your desks during this chat, simultaneously eating the lunch that your jobs afford you -- gold-flecked fugu for many of you, "cart guy" for me (NYCers say word) -- and typing low-brow lowercase questions and wondering if the only chick involved in the chat is actually cute or if maybe you should head to a school in a warmer clime where at least there will be more bikinis... But know this! I too will be there at this "live chat" and I will be wearing a suit -- a black suit and what! -- at my computer, as befits a possible Booth admit. I shall google all the school representatives and create bonds by sending in relate-able asides like, "Sometimes I think recruiting for consulting is a lot like that one time at band camp, if you know what I mean!" I shall pose all my questions aloud in modulated and mellifluous tones, my queries honed by the clarity that only fasting for 24 hours can provide. The sonorous rumbling with which my belly punctuates every inquiry will be admired as assertive but not aggressive, as every professional woman's hunger-growls ought to be. I will smile. I will nod. I will take notes.

In short, you should see this live chat as an opportunity to get your foot in the door. Too late now, though. I got this.

For those of you who haven't received invites yet. Just hold on. I know its easier said than done but there are still good chances you will get an invite.

Submitted: 1/6
Went Complete: 1/21

I think its time to say goodbye to booth too

I have heard (ok read) the argument about the zero correlation between when your app was completed to interview invite time a few times, and I want to believe it. BUT all the evidence on this forum points to the contrary. I don't see people getting invited whose apps were completed earlier on 6/ 7 or 10/11 (like mine) getting invited anymore

... sigh..

I figured that much. Looks like they grouped the London invites together. Everything makes much more sense now. The past two weeks have been extraordinarily tense because I applied to only two schools - Harvard & Booth. Hopefully, it's good news as well on Friday for Harvard.

Congratulations pudgethefish! Now go knock that interview out the park! What percentage of interviewd candidates are accepted? Just curious.

From everything I've read, it seems like about 50% of interviewees get an acceptance. Better odds than Vegas, I'll take it!
