Well, I know that they've at least looked at my LinkedIn page.

It seems that I have to update my linkedin account from basic to membership.

Only 'someone(LinkedIn member)viewed your profile' is prompted

I have been lurking here for a bit, but no activity on the Sloan interview front. Is anyone getting invites?

Hi Beanboy, did your receive this msg as a response for a question, or a general spam from Sloan. I didnt receive this msg and it definitely caused a heart attack on me. :D

Also, does anyone know if the invite can be sent the week before the decision day? I will be out of country March 23 - March 29. It will be catastrophic to me if it comes last minute during that week....

Still no one has gotten a R2 invite? Now this is just getting ridiculous... It's not like MIT announces all interview decisions at once like Booth, why are they taking so long to start rolling out the first wave of invites??!

The news is now saying that after a campus search, the report was unfounded. I guess everything's okay.
Hope everyone on-campus for adMIT weekend had/is having a great time!
