I checked on the 2016 thread, it seems as if invites came in waves from about now to mid feb, and then trickling out towards the end of February.

What I wonder, is do the invites that come out on a day all come at one time? Or can we expect them to roll throughout a single day? It does seem that everyone invited today got an invite at the same time.

I believe they're done in waves.. chunks at a time, if that helps.

Word, yeah that does seem correct. So we can probably expect not to hear today, if we haven't already. Ugh!

So looking at submission dates for invited applicants, seems like Darden have used FIFO!!

looks like folks with invites submitted their apps pretty early in the game. I submitted on deadline so I guess the waiting game is not yet over for me... :shock: :shock: :shock:

To be honest, although I submitted my application on 01/05, I almost lost my hope :? :?

I feel I have to adapt myself to the worst scenario... :| :|

I don't think that when we submitted is a factor. The best thing we can do is take the school at face value when they say "As you know, decisions for Round 2 will be released on 25 March at 12:00 p.m. (ET). Invitations to interview will begin to go out in late January and are sent on a rolling basis; candidates can receive an invitation to interview up until the decision release date. Please note that if you are invited for an interview, the day on which you receive an invitation does not reflect our interest in you as a candidate."

So nothing to worry about (yet).

In theory, you are completely true. All you guys, with your decent profiles, should keep the hopes high and wait for second wave or may be you will surf on that wave in some hours :-D :-D

Mine was just a self assesment. With my miserable GMAT (620) I just tried my chance and to be honest I was expecting at least one invite from my applications because of my strong work experience. Anyway, lets see what will happen on Thursday 29th with my second GMAT attempt!! May be God will decide to help me this time and I will have a chance to get a ticket for second wave with my GMAT score :angel: :angel:

Has anyone contacted Darden's admission office to check if there would be more interview invitations for R2.

That seems a little aggressive.

The website says invitations are rolling so... I'd assume yes.
