I'm going to a Women in Leadership conference at Haas on 3/14. Should I wait to interview until after the conference (since it'll be a good talking point and refresher), or do it sooner? What's the conventional wisdom on this?

Please add to the roll call for Round 2: F/25/GPA 3.6 from top 10/GMAT 750/4.5 years work experience in food wholesale industry/Russian

Dear moderators,

I just looked at the roll call and didn't see myself there... I applied in the second round on the day of the deadline 12/10/09. :-)

Thanks!

You were given the option?

Interview after for sure...will give you great material to discuss and you'll have a clearer picture of the campus and culture...etc

Thanks cyrez8. I'm a little concerned that 3/15 is getting close to their decision deadline... The interview scheduler didn't even offer dates past 3/16.

They are interviewing until 3/16 so I think a 3/15 interview is fine.

If you don't feel comfortable, however, and want to get it out of the way sooner then schedule it earlier. There is no point in being uneasy going into an interview.

Yes, I too am wondering when the invites will go out. I am based out of Beijing and can't make it to Super Saturday. I am a California resident, but working abroad.

Yeah, I know, a million people have probably asked this question, but what are forums for but to discuss.

Is there any correlation between strength of application and invite timing? People always say there isn't, but for every school Round 1, it seemed to be the case. Of course there are people who get interview invites on decision day. But it always seems to be the exception that late-anything is successful. Everything I've ever been able to get has happened immediately or not at all. So I guess it is difficult for me to be patient.

Haas has vocalized before (in person and in emails) that invitation orders have no bearing on the strength of the application. They take a pile and go through that pile and send out offers. Now whether this is true or not, we'll never know but it makes sense since they have so many applications to deal with.

I'm an R2er and still waiting on an interview invite (non-local). I don't have any rumors or hunches to contribute, just thought I'd commiserate with you guys who are still waiting! :|

It'd be nice to round out all of my applications with this last one!

Great list of schools coast!

My gf goes to UW Foster.

Obviously, if you get into Haas that is probably your #1.

If not, and between UCLA, USC and UW, what are you thinking?

planning to visit all of them in April, so I think that will help me decide. of the two cities, i'd prefer LA as a place to live, but equally considering all options.
