It`s gonna be a long wait! Although for some reason "5 weeks sounds" shorter than "1 month and a bit".

Doesn't look like anyone in the US has received the interview invite

Come on Stanford, get over with it. I have no nails left.

Actually I remember an admissions officer saying that as well. They must enjoy reading our comments of turmoil.

Are you living outside the US or originally from another country?

Nope, 100% domestic. I know of a few other invited as well, but very few people overall.

From the US, working in the US. Received an invite in October.

Ah! There have been domestic Stanford invites! Congrats, thebdouglas and schroedes. You've been holding out on us Good luck with the interviews and do let us know how they go.

Hi all - I received an interview invitation late October and interviewed this week with an alumnus (I am located in the US). As this thread from last year was helpful for me in preparing for the interview, I thought I'd give a brief run-through of mine. Overall, the interview was very informal and conversational, and the interviewer was very open to a continuing dialogue instead of a set list of questions and answers. He started by asking for a general timeline of my life/resume from high school onward, followed by several broad questions: - Why do you want to get an MBA - Why Stanford - Tell me about a failure - Tell me about a success For some of these questions, there were brief follow-up points. I then asked a few questions about his experience and the atmosphere at Stanford, to which he provided personal answers (not admissions lines). Overall, the interview lasted almost exactly an hour. I hope this is helpful for you!
