The other option is that people simply aren't updating their statuses as promptly here.

This has been the finding in other threads, i.e. there is a definite lag between the dates invites/offers are sent and reported.

I am trying to distract myself with other things as the wait is definitely enough to drive you nuts!

Keep calm and best of luck guys. You will need to be in top mental condition to knock your interview out of the park!!

Anyone know if Stanford followed the same pattern of daily invitations over a period of 1 month in R1? If so, were they spread evenly or bunched up towards the end?

Fingers crossed!

A Round 1 admitted student posted earlier that it was spread out and that she received her invitation just 2 days before the interview invite window closed. Also earlier in the thread, someone posted a graph of daily interview invites. It was pretty evenly spread up until the end. I don't know what to think. It could be people are not reporting their invites... It could be that for some reason GMAT clubbers in R2 for this year are not as strong as before... It could be that they are backed up a bit in the admissions office and/or having trouble matching interviewees with interviewers. It's torture waiting though.

Yep, unfortunately true and I am not sure how to convince people to report invites/decisions/outcomes ....
Keep in mind that the below table requires someone to both report their decision and put a date of the decision so that this is mapped. We have started requiring dates as of 2 weeks ago per a user suggestion (a very good and logical one). Thank you!

Here is where we are right now:

"Tell us about a time in the last three years when you identified and pursued an opportunity to improve an organization."
What do you all think... is it okay if the experience I want to write about happened exactly 37 months ago? (three years and one month)

I don't think they care about exact dates. The point is moreso that it is a recent experience.

Posted from my mobile device

Completely unrelated guys but... Some nice person on this forum sent me a PM asking for advice for the interview but disabled PM... Hello friend! Here is my answer to your question... Will not reference you by name because you may not want to be identified:

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

My interviewer was relaxed and friendly. There are literally 50 questions he/she could ask (they choose 6 from a long list) and they're all pretty standard. If you've prepared good stories of: overcoming challenges, difficult situations, leadership, changing people's minds... I think you should be fine. Just be yourself as much as possible and try to convince the alum that you'd be someone nice to have a classmate.

Let me know how it goes! Good luck.

Isa
