With those stats, are you sure it's just an invite and not and invitation for the Dean's position?

I'm Indian and proud of my heritage. However, I feel very much like a world citizen. I'm aware of the PagalGuy forums. Thanks for the heads up.

Good luck to you as well. 

Stanford means a lot to me since I'm currently enrolled in the Stanford Advanced Project Management Program and because my fiance works in the Bay Area. If I did get into Stanford, I wouldn't even have to move from my apartment!

Wow, very good stats. I only have a 710 and 3.65 GPA with 6 years of tech consulting/software engineer as my background. I wonder how my background will be seen at stanford. Should I take another stab at the GMAT to make it better? I only took it once.

Congrats on the invite. I hope you cross the final hurdle as well. Can you please share some details regarding your application.

1. When did you submit your application?
2. How long ago did it go to 'under review' status?

I have submitted my application as well and its been on the 'review' status for about 2 weeks now. I am not quite sure if this is common or is there a reason for me to panic?

Ethan,

I submitted my application on Oct 22nd and it went complete around November 14th (I think).
