Stanford GSB Calling all applicants for Class of 2016!

Thanks so much for the info! Congrats on all your acceptances! I also saw that someone posted a graph showing R1 interview invites that confirms what you said about invites being pretty spread out across the invite window. I guess it's going to be a long month of constant email checking.

Guys, Stanford has been releasing interview invitations since Monday. If you have received one - congratulations! Please also update your profile so that we can keep track of the stats.

We will also start posting some tips on interviews if we find any. If you have any of these, do not hesitate to share with us

Best of luck to all!

It's so quiet... After the mini-wave of invites on the first day, haven't heard any news. Does anyone know of invitations extended since Monday?

According to the table at the top of this thread with updates, it looks like 3 people were invited to interview on Monday, 1 on Tuesday, and 2 on Wednesday, for 6 total so far (reported to GMAT Club). The graph posted showing interview invites throughout the window for R1 showed that about 17 people received interview invites (reported to GMAT Club) in R1 and that the invites were quite spread out throughout the window. I think we can anticipate 8 - 11 more invites if the R1 sample was representative.

Good analysis... Ah the long wait is tiring

Does anyone knows if a person who is denied will know it only on march?

I ask because my status at the Stanford MBA Program Application keeps "application currently under review". Does it mean they still don't have an answer about my application?

Not sure if you received this email from Stanford but they did send this to all who applied. Please note the dates mentioned below the Admission Process Dates.

--------------
Thank you again for applying to the Stanford MBA Program. We know you made a significant investment in your application; we value your effort and hope you found the process rewarding.

The days and months after submitting your application can be daunting. To alleviate some of this anxiety, we have outlined the next steps of the review process below.

Admission Process Dates
8 January 2014: Round 2 Deadline
Beginning on deadline day, the MBA Admissions Office prepares applications for review and distributes them to members of our team to read. Over the subsequent weeks, we review applications, and decide which candidates will move to the next stage.

3 February through 4 March 2014: Interview Invitations
During this period, we will extend invitations daily for interview via email. Interviews are by invitation only, and an interview is required for admission. We hope to interview between 800 and 1,000 applicants this application year.

No invitations will be sent before 3 February or after 4 March. We expect the majority of invitations to go out by 25 February. If you have not received an interview invitation by 4 March, you will not be interviewed in this round.

4 March 2014: Application Status Update
On March 4, you can log in to Apply Yourself for an update on the status of your application. At this stage, there will be three possibilities:

You have already been invited to interview, and will receive a final decision on 26 March. On 26 March you will find out if you will be admitted, denied, or offered a spot in the waitpool.
You were not selected for an interview, and your application is denied. This decision is final.
You are being offered a spot in the waitpool with the possibility of being invited to interview at a future date.


26 March 2014: Decision Notification Date
All official decisions will be released and available in Apply Yourself.

Thanks! I guess march 3rd is the deadline then... If we don't receive the invitation until there, it means on march 4th we won't have good news...

Ah, but the table on page 1 of this thread shows that 52 out of 415 got invited in R1 (about 12.5%). If the same percentage of applicants in R2 get invites (out of a total of 221) that would mean a total of about 27 or 28 people.

Either way, significantly more invites are due than have already been sent (which is kind of logical given it is the early stage of the round).

The wait is definitely the worst bit...

If we are fortunate to get an invite for interview, do you know how quickly we have to arrange it ? Would it be within a week of the email or something like that ?

I think we have 7 days after interview invitation to arrange for the interviews...

They ask that you complete the interview within 10 days of receiving the invitation. The instructions indicate that they can and will be flexible to accommodate travel needs, etc.

Anyone else get the "Update" email? What a tease. LOL

To be fair to them they did mention it was not applicant specific in the first paragraph haha

heart stopped for a split second...nice update tho

Haha, same feeling! I guess they must have started getting harassed by anxious applicants.

Hello all,
If one does not receive an invite for interview in round 2 , is there a chance that the candidate may be invited in round 3?? Can anyone plz tell ?
