Based on Round 1 and last year timeline, I think we will receive the invites this week, which is a few days after the 3 week mark.

are the invites sent out at once like hbs and wharton or is it on a rolling basis like stanford?

In the email, it is said that decisions are sent out on a rolling basis. But, from what I have read, decisions were sent on the same day in the last round.

It is always all of them on the same day, at least that is what everyone has told me going back 9 years and it was the same way last round

Good luck to everyone!

It could be ! I just checked the portal and it still says "your application is currently under review". I read that some people in the first round stopped seeing that msg a say before they got the results.

Their admissions team has been short staffed. After Sena left back in October, a few others followed. Could explain the delay?

Haha. Seems like everyone is taking a bit longer. App volumes must be up this year or something.

mdrgonzalez3, Haha. That’s some top tier stuff, as speculation goes.
