Dude Stanford MBA/MS is already huge, does it really take 3 years to do? If that's too long maybe just do the MBA instead.
I know GSB is awesome and to be honest, I am more keen on the MS part. Even for MIT, I applied from the SOE, not Sloan.. And yes, it does take 3 years (9 quarters minus the summers) to finish. LGO is much better planned than Stanford's dual program.
Over a chat with Hopeful2018, I mentioned I don't think I'd apply to LGO next year cz if they don't give me a shot this time around, I won't waste a shot at Stanford.. I have always believed that for MS MIT>>Stanford while for MBA, GSB>>>>Sloan. But my inclination is towards the school with the better MS. Its heartbreaking to not receive an interview from MIT.
Don't give up yet. They still had invites a few days late last year. It sounds like you have a great shot at Stanford though. And if it's not your dream, you could always apply to MIT next year. I understand the heartbreak of not getting in. I'm still so skeptical. I went through the forum for last year and there were still 3 people who interviewed and didn't get accepted. I'm being cautiously optimistic.
It looked like the spots for Tuesday were less than the other days, I only saw 4 spaces I believe, but those could have been taken by people wanting to interview that day.
