4 dings out of 4. My life is just so B-E-A-U ... horrible.

Apply next year! Just a blip in the grand scheme of things. There is also always R3 and I know people who got into top 15 schools in this last round so don't discount it! I do agree, however, depending on what you are looking to get out of your MBA and what your overall profile is like. Top-top schools are unarguably fantastic, but I know my application had it's strengths and weaknesses and that my shots were not solid considering even 'perfect' candidates get dinged left and right. I also know that I'm smart, sociable, and hardworking, and that I can have a wonderful experience and get a great education and top-paying offer out of another school in the field I'm after. I applied to 6 schools spread across the top 20 range and the results so far have been relatively predictable. Congrats again to those that got interviews and good luck to everyone

Invited! So happy. I only applied to top three so you can imagine the pressure.

When you get to the log-in page to schedule the interview, the dates are correct.

dang - sorry to hear.... so till next year?

Invited for interview. I am so happy Got same email two times in 30 minutes... first invite Wharton has been my first choice..

Invited! two mails in 15 minutes (with the second mail I thought they were going to tell that the first one was a mistake). However, I can't log in... I do not know what's going on.

Interview invite 10:45am EST. Sao Paulo applicant. Lauder Program. and then Lauder interview invite at 10:54 EST. I was really expecting nothing until 5pm EST so totally surprised me! Already scheduled for the first Sao Paulo Hub day March 2. Received the same invite email a second time at 11:18am. I guess they really want me to interview! After three dings w/o interview in a row this feels really good!!

Invited! Wasn't expecting it this early because I thought R1 invites came out ~12PST? May have imagined it. Good thing I decided to check my email first thing when I woke up... Re: 2 emails, the first email had a link that took you to interview dates for R1 vs the second email had a link to the correct R2 dates. Hah. Good luck all!
