Yup! Its a ding. Life goes on. Posted from my mobile device

Ding. I seem to be in good company.

Just catching up on here. For all you crazies out there that look at past data in excessive detail, I got an R2 invite via email on Saturday, March 1st at 4:20pm PST. Just saying, there is hope out there even at the bitter end!

I like to think that I dinged them before they dinged me. Good luck to everyone going for their interview!

Yes I too got mine fairly late and all signs point to that it truly is just one woman matching everyone individually and manually and struggling to make a lot of matches at the end (they have to match you before extending the invite). I also will say one thing I'm not sure was discussed is that R1 accepts had to submit deposits by Feb. 20th, and that is why I believe they extended many invites after that date (they wanted to wait and see their numbers from that). This is something to keep in mind for the future.

I got my invite late as well, and am hoping sonsofanarchy is right about the late invites coming due to matching. I will say that I was really impressed/flattered by the alum match - they matched me with someone in a specific industry I discussed in my essay (an industry that I don't think many Stanford alums are in). Sadly I had changed locations and wasn't able to meet with him, but still really appreciated the thoughtfulness of it. I had 100% given up hope on the 25th, and that made the invite even sweeter Now back to the waiting game. Congrats to everyone else who got invites, and everyone else keep your heads up! Harvard dinged me with no interview so I'm thrilled for the shot at GSB.
