I got an interview invite as well around 2pm EST! I'm impressed by how quickly they got through the applications. I'm also east coast (NYC) and submitted on the day of the deadline.

I just got an interview request (I'm in Washington, DC). Turned my application in the day before it was due.

My status still says "Submitted" though, so maybe don't worry about that changing!

Super excited! :-D

Wow. Congrats, tijaco. They generally start sending invites to US applicants from November 1st. This time they are even quicker. If you don't mind please share your profile :)

All the best very best,
Prodizy

From last year's thread it looks like invitations are only send out every few days..

Does any international applicant receive interview invite yet...?
As an international applicant, I don't expect an invitation this week. Here is once again some information from last year's thread I posted earlier:

Quote:

- Application deadline: October 15th (the same as this year)
- Decision by: December 19th (2 days later than this year)
- First US applicant receiving an invitation to an interview: November 5th
- Last US applicant receiving an invitation: November 13th
- First international applicant receiving an invitation to an interview: November 14th
- Last international applicant receiving an invitation: November 19th
- People get interview invitations for the EMBA program, being told that they will not get an interview invitation for the FT MBA: November 30th
- It seems like there were always several invitations released on one day (e.g. the November 5th and 8th), and none at all on others
So, strictly by the numbers, this year the first invites where on October 30th, so the first international invites would be on November 8th. I would be really suprised to get an invitation before the middle of next week.

I just got an e-mail (or "email" as per the NYT) from Darden. It was not an interview invitation however, just an invitation to learn more. o.O

Seems like it has been only east coast people receiving an invite so far. Looking at last year's thread it looks like the US invites were released in 2 waves, with east coast invites going out second, so maybe they are changing it up this year a little bit.

According to Sara Neher, Darden is going to send out domestic interview invites next week:

Invites for international students will go out afterwards.

gentlejack: The invitation was straightforward. They provided a link to the scheduler and gave information on other activities you could do during the day before/after the interview. I've already visited the school during an open house, but if you haven't before the interview I would highly recommend sitting in on a class and experiencing First Coffee.
