Going by Dee's post on round 1, you can assume ~90% of the invites went out today--but I'm still hoping for the long, now really long, shot invite on Feb 6th.

Hi,

Could anyone who got an invite check if their application status has been modified online? I'm having some trouble with my mail, and would like to double check.

Many thanks in advance!

I didn't hear anything sadly, but I wanted to give people a reality check here. Out of 100 R2 applicants, about 25% get an interview and of those 8/9 happen in round I. That means:

R2 Applicants: 100

Wave 1 Interviewed invites: ~22
Wave 2 invites: ~3

Total Interviewed: 25

------

As of 10 minutes ago, our chances of getting an invite were 22%. Now they are 3%. Pack you bags guys - there's basically no hope.

I am a 27 year old female. Originally from Poland came to the U.S on an athletic scholarship. 3.8 undergrad in Finance and Management from University of Utah. Division 1 athlete. 4 years in a small start up biotech as a business analyst. I was so down on myself and felt stupid for even applying after reading the gmatclub thread...

Good luck to everyone. I know it can sound tacky but stay positive everyone and dont give up!

Hear, hear! :clap:

Same with me - long shot, gave it a try, and I don't feel bad about it either way.

For the people who did not get an email, has your status online changed from:

Your application is under review. MBA Admissions will contact you if we need further information. Please note that this field will not change again until the notification date.

So is it safe to assume no outright dings were sent out?

I know at this point its an even longer shot, but at least there is still hope for next week?

Right, I figure dings will not go out until the final notification date, but from the info on this board the chances are just reduced drastically.

Can anyone post time stamps for receiving the email invitations? Just figuring out whether to hope or not anymore! Also, everyone has the Post-interview reflection in progress on logout or only the invited ones?
