I am wondering if geographical location indeed makes a difference as Sarajevo123 suggested. Is there anyone from Europe who received invites today?

I read in Dee Leopold's webinar transcript -- kindly published by somebody here -- that they indeed sort by industry.

Received an invitation 12.03 EST, I'm from South America so I guess they are indeed sending invitations out of the US as I've heard from brazilians receiving invetes too

Did you get an invite? I thought your last post indicated that you didnt and you were wondering how invites were rolling out

Congrats. So thinking about reneging on the CBS ED admit?

This is a really interesting hypothesis.

I think this is correct. I was at an HBS admissions event in Boston earlier this fall where Dee spoke. She said that different adcom members are in charge of different industries and/or geographies. So it would make sense that whichever industry/geography groups have already been evaluated would have invites sent out today, whereas those industry/geography groups that have not yet been evaluated will go out next week. But who really knows?!
