I'd assume that they create a matrix based on geography and industry. Let's say first applications are compared on geography. The selected are then compared regardless of geography on industry. In an ideal situation their 2 dimensional matrix should show representation across geography and industry. If not they go back and get more probables.
The matrix could be extended on n dimensions.


The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Wtf?

Ppl in an attempt to quench the thirst to crack the GSB invite-order code, this is what I found in Poets&Quants

"When applications arrive online, a computer system effectively distributes them to readers in the admissions department based on expertise and experience. Admissions staffer Giannangeli, for example, focuses on applications from Europe. So the computer will automatically assign her applicants from the European countries. Every admissions staffer has his or her own way to going through the materials, but in Giannangeli’s case, she’ll often do a deep dive on applicants from a single country for a few days to get a sense of how the competition might line up from the United Kingdom or France. Some slice and dice the applicants based on their industry background, taking consultants in a pile or investment bankers.

Every application is read by one person. After the initial read, a staffer writes a statement on the application and provides a recommendation to Bolton. Sometimes, an application might be turned over to another staffer with expertise in a specific area such as private equity so that the applicant could be compared to others with similar experience. Bolton, whose job it is to shape a highly diverse incoming class, ultimately makes the final decision on who gets an offer."

Hope this helps.

Ugh, I know, I know. But I can't help it. I wanted to see if there was trend in timing of invites day over day. It's going to be hard to stay sane over the next month :P

Just as an FYI for those waiting, they push you to schedule your interviews very quickly, so do some prep now.

I just found out yesterday and have mine scheduled for later this week. Good news is I have been prepping for Harvard so it should help me a little...

Based on last year's forum, there will be somewhere between 45-50 invitations sent to this group (assuming roughly equivalent class quality.) We have a long way to go to get to that number!
