Another set of questions, this one regarding the interview:
. was the interview arranged through an online system?
. was it possible to select different locations (eg: campus vs home)?
. was the scheduling flexible? I read somewhere that one has 10 days to schedule the interview; I also wonder what is the latest it could be scheduled for.
I'm located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I travel extensively, and have a hectic schedule. So I don't know if for me it would be best to have the interview in Buenos Aires, or in Stanford, or maybe in New York. This is not a minor issue.
If I'm in the wrong thread, please do let me know.
Re: deposit: it is $2000 and is due 4 March (for R1, obviously).
I found the GSB interview very flexible *because* you are immediately matched with an alum for interview--it adds that personal touch. I was actually away on a business trip for 2 weeks and wasn't able to meet during the timeframe, and Stanford was extremely nice about letting me delay my interview until I returned to my home city. You are given an email address for the Stanford interview coordinator and she responded within a couple hours of my note, and was very nice about it. If you get an interview, you have a 50-60% chance of getting in, so you are already a top candidate and they will treat you as such. So don't worry too much.
Best of luck!
