I received a reply from my interviewer within about 48 hours from emailing him. We scheduled our interview for about 7-8 days later (as referenced, it needs to be scheduled within 10 days of the initial email from admissions). Given that you haven't heard anything after about 5 days, I would follow-up.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. p.s. anyone applying to USA MBA Fellowship?

So has anyone in London/U.K. got an invite yet?

For international applicants, maybe you'll find it interesting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twe6o9M3lO8

One report on ClearAdmit from London, otherwise seems quiet. But it generally feels quiet both on ClearAdmit and here, reports for GSB are down ~40% vs. last year based on same number of days from first e-mails on ClearAdmit.

Anyone else wondering if the 270+ of us reporting might not ever receive an invite and the folks receiving invites just aren’t reporting? Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum

Well, theoretically ~10% should receive invites (assuming that GMAT Club members who report represent the average application pool), and 7 have been reported out of ~240 R1 applicants, meaning ~17 more would be expected in the final 6 release days. This compares to 7 in the first 16 days. Conclusion? - People on this forum have a significantly lower probability to be invited to an interview compared to the average - Selection bias, where people who have have received invites do not report it - Application numbers are up significantly vs. last year - meaning my 10% number is completely wrong - Fewer invites than expected have gone out in aggregate, and there will be a catch-up in the last 6 days I try to keep my hope up for the last reason, but in practice I'm preparing my R2 applications.
