I've been lurking on these blogs for a while; I suppose I'll finally come out as we all eagerly await today's announcement. My stats are below. Best of luck to everybody...I'll certainly be joining you in the booze-fest tonight!

Also, not to get ahead too much here, but I'm interested in peoples thoughts on interviews (should we be so fortunate). I'm currently international and not all that close to one of the sites. Anybody (in the same boat or otherwise) have thoughts on pros/cons of doing a phone interview vs. going in person to one of the sites?

I'm not sure if anybody else noticed this, but I was reading the dean's blog from previous years and found the following post on "interview invitation day" from last year. It may be helpful to some of us in trying to guess how many interview invitations are yet to come after today...


"Hello to Round Two Applicants"
"Date: February 09, 2009"

"Today we are sending emails to about 750 applicants inviting them to interview. Detailed information will be included in the email. I think there will be between 50 and 100 additional invitations sent between now and April 2. These will be sent out as files are reviewed - not on a designated day or days."

"As I've said before, I know that the business school application experience is anxiety-producing. We are trying hard to minimize anxiety and stress while preserving a time-intensive selection process in which the applications you invested so much in are carefully reviewed by multiple members of the Admissions Board."

"Thank you for your patience and understanding."

Ok. It's 12pm EST which is what several people predicted. Although others predicted 1pm EST so maybe another hour?? The invites can really go out anytime now. Surely they will be sent out in the next 5 hours before the office closes at 5pm...
