I just had my interview yesterday with an alum in Mexico City. I found the interviewer to be extremely likable and had very interesting background. To my suprise, the interview was much like Wharton's in terms of behavioral questions. I only got four questions and only the first one was "normal". He started off by talking about himself and by telling me that the questions would be behavioral based. Then the questions began.

1) What is your biggest accomplishment and why?
2) Tell me about a time when you dealt with frustration.
3) Tell me about a time when you overused authority (not the exact way he told me, but he was basically asking me of a time when I used my authority too much as an entrepreneur)
4) Tell me about a time when you worked on a team that exceeded expectations.
5) Tell me about a time when you worked in a difficult team setting.

He then proceeded to talk about his experience in the GSB, we talked about other schools, and he told me that the only guy he interviewed for the first round was not admitted... Hopefully that's not the case here! Good luck to everyone!

Congrats Reimon!!! I am also a mexican applying to GSB (still waiting an interview invite) Good luck with the rest of the process!!!

All best

I give up - have not received an interview yet. Feel it's very close to being all over.

Sigh. This admissions process is depressing.

You have no basis at all for asserting that. They started sending out invitations around the beginning of February, and say they will continue to be sending them out until the end of March. That puts around halfway through the process.

Keep in mind that even the famous RonMexico from last year did not get his Stanford invite under March 9.

Received my MIT ding yesterday. Stanford and MIT are really the only two schools I applied to in R1/R2 combined, and those are the only two schools I was looking to get into. Half of that dream is over, and I'm fast beginning to lose hope on the other half. Trying very hard to keep sane at this point. A hearty congratulations to all those who've received invites - all the best for the interviews. To the rest, lets all keep the faith.

chaoticsilence: sorry to hear that, I hope you get a Stanford invite soon.

wjjw: RonMexico was an applicant last year that applied Rd2 to H/S/W, as well as Columbia, Tuck, Darden and UT. You can look up his posts in last year's threads. He got into every single school that he applied to and eventually went to HBS. But Stanford did not invite him to interview until March 9th.

My point is only that interview invites are still going out, we know from past experience that invites go out until even a few days before the deadline, and people with later invites (like RonMexico) have gotten in. So I don't think it's quite yet time to lose hope.

right. I only apply for Stanford this time, not just in R2, but the entire MBA application process. Maybe i couldn't get invitation or admission at the end, but the thing is, applying for MBA is also a process giving yourself a hope in your life, and an opportunity. So, don't worry, our hopes and opportunities are still out there waiting even without the invitation.

Hi all,

Just to give you all some hope (hopefully not false hope), I interviewed less than two weeks ago and my interviewer told me that I was only the second person he had seen, but that he expects to see somewhere between 5-8. Small sample, but might suggest that there are still many invites to come...
Best of luck to all of you!

Still no word for me either but schools like Stanford and MIT take their time. I JUST got an invite to MIT so I'm not losing hope on Stanford especially since my scores weren't reported until late Jan. GL all!

Don't let all the speculation kill you !!! I know that getting depressed is natural in this wait, too. But please don't get drown in speculation and depression :wink:

!!!

I got my invites from Wharton and Chicago Booth on the very last day when I already gave up hopes :shock:

. Believe me, 2 weeks into the mid-decision release period, I heard no news and that really impaired my mind. I was too depressed to do anything, from going out, working to talking to my friends. My close friends suffered a lot from my whining, poor them

.

But when I finally got the invites, I really regretted wasting my time over worrying. I wish I had spent those days preparing for the interviews :cry:

.

So for Stanford, I would not give up hope until the very last day and better occupy myself with more productive activities. Even if I get rejected, I think that I would reapply next year or embark on Round 3 application for another business school no matter how competitive Round 3 is

I'm trying not to give up hope too... Stanford is my dream school so I'm really praying for it, but at the end of the day whatever happens is meant to be

Good luck to all of you with the rest of the process!
