Thanks for the heads up. Also got my ding. :(

Edit: Just got the email that my decision was posted. It instructs me to log in to the application portal to view the decision.

Sorry to all the dings. Look like it was one of the lowest interview conversion rate rounds in the recent past... (Based on GMAT Club Data)...

So for all those invited to interview... have ya'll gotten hammered yet?

Maybe people update their profile well after interviews had happened?

In any case, we will know our fate in 20 days!

Sorry to hear the dings. BTW, if you have flexibility, you could re-apply for the next year and you might even get in. Stanford is one of those few schools that have blank-slate policy for re-applicants. I know a friend who was dinged without interview one year, and _accepted_ in the R1 the following year with pretty much the same application (with different recommenders I think!). So, it's all random!

My interview is scheduled for next week. Unfortunately, I am getting interviewed by one of the Adcom members. With Alumni, it is possible that you get asked questions that you already answered in your application somewhere, but an adcom member most likely would have access to the entire application. And, even off the interviewed candidates, 60% get dinged. So, please wish me luck!!

Good luck! I am sure it will go great. And I think it is better to get an adcom. If you do really well it is much more likely to make a difference as to the result. If an alum really likes you I don't think it has that much of a difference. But if you hit it off really well with an adcom member, or even DB if he is the one doing your interview, it can be a real positive.

I would rather interview with someone who has more influence/power over the decision. I think you are really lucky to get invited to interview with adcom. I'm jealous!

Have confidence in yourself and your application, that is why they are interviewing you they already like you and like what you had to say. So stay true to yourself and know that they want you already and are just confirming that you really are that person described in the application!

I was wondering whether adcom would update the waitpool stats now that R2 decisions are updated; so I logged back into the portal and downloaded the waitpool FAQ letter - indeed, they have increased from 80 people to 100. man...
