So, given that 5% of GSB R2 applicants on this site have been extended interview invites, and that 12% received invites in round 1 (which is probably pretty close to GSB's overall average), would it be a safe assumption to say that we are still looking at about 50% more of the total invitations to be going out in the next week or so? Or am I off on something. I'd say that, generally speaking, 275 people seems like a reasonable sample size to be basing this off of, but i could be wrong.
I was wondering the same thing. It looks like 15 interview invites so far- right? Out of 275. That just seems super low, unless the majority of people on here aren't reporting.
I'm hoping a huge batch will come out in the next few days, but at the same time I don't want to convince myself that that will be the case! Either way-I'm looking forward to having some certainty by March 3rd
Well, my thing is that if you look at historical data, whether that be R1 2017, R1 2016, or R2 2016, they all seem to fall in that 12-14% range for people invited to interview. Any biases against reporting an interview, etc, would have also applied to those rounds as well. The fact that they are all so tightly clustered makes me think that eventually R2 2017 will round out at that 12-14% number as well. So I'd say that we've got another 50-60% of the R2 invites still to come. That's going to be quite a few going out in just a weeks time though. For me personally, I would honestly be okay with even getting an interview and not getting accepted (although don't get me wrong, I definitely want to get in). Just getting the interview would at least make me feel a bit better/more confident about some of the other schools over the course of the next month or so. Here's to hoping the next week is a fruitful one!
