is anyone else on the interview scheduling website? looks like the only available dates on campus are next Tuesday and Wednesday... will they potentially open up some more slots?

I really hope so... It's going to be quite challenging to get to Philly in such a short notice...

yeah man - I'm sitting in GMT +5, should I request a Skype interview?

they said those are pretty much the only interview slots? or pretty much all the interview invites? or both...?

Ya, so if there are only a few slots left, and that "is it", I guess it doesn't bode well for folks on the final day?

If the only current open slots are Tuesday and Wednesday and the last round of invites go out Tuesday, you can assume they will open up more slots for the final wave. I scanned the forum last year and a whole slew of invites went out on the last day. It appeared to be more message board post invites than any wave this year. Take that for what its worth, but I would guess the entire first week of March is dedicated to the last day invites. Did anyone who previously scheduled an interview see any open slots for the first full week in March?

FWIW, when I got my invite in early February there was a note that all on-campus interviews needed to be completed by March 2, which is a week from Friday (off-campus interviews could extend further). This may still mean that slots will open the first week in March for people receiving invites the last day (and they'll get a different "interview by" date) but for people invited today, I'd read the fine print before assuming spots may open in March.

sorry. to clarify, what the lady told me on the phone was they didn't anticipate any more ON-CAMPUS slots opening up at this moment and she recommended me to book a slot that I could work with-- I specifically asked if they would open up more Thurs/Friday slots. she did not comment on the potential of more interview invites to be sent out so I really have no idea there.

there were about 20-25 open ON CAMPUS slots to choose from scheduling portal.

hope that helps.

There are so few people in the roll call with a 720+ GMAT and 3.5+ GPA who have reported a straight up ding without an interview (<10% of those meeting that criteria). Now that I am staring at the very real prospect of being in that 10%, I am unsure what it was that Adcom saw (or did not see) in my application that gave rise to the ding, and I wonder what it means for my chances at other schools. It is very frustrating that there is no feedback mechanism and that the selection process is so opaque, That feedback would be invaluable, especially if it becomes necessary for me to reapply to schools next year.

I'm in the same boat (in the 10%)..
I'm hoping that given my app was submitted the final day, and my last name is toward the end of the alphabet, that I still have a fighting chance. But my hope and patience is waning...

Looking at the front page, almost 50% of people on this forum received an interview invite in R1. Right now, 25% in R2 report this. In R1 I got my invite on the last day... don't worry just yet.

That is definitely encouraging. I'd hate to be one of the select few to join the 10% club as well...760/3.86. I didn't even submit my app on the last day so I can't use that as an excuse, although my LORs were submitted on the deadline, so maybe that's the same...who knows...

Just to join (because misery loves company)...looks like I may be in that 10% club as well

3.7 GPA
760 GMAT
4 years international consulting work experience

Gotta say, if I don't even get an interview I would REALLY like to get some feedback from the adcom as to why. It's not to sound arrogant (though I realize it does) but based on my stats it is really frustrating to not even get an interview invite. I had a friend from Wharton who served on their adcom read my entire app and he had little doubt I'd be successful.

Anyway, enough of the self loathing and tooting my own horn. I'll just wait hopefully (miserably?) for Tuesday.


Here's to hoping we don't become part of the dreaded 10% club.

Thus far beat the gmat has 308 applicants with 84 interviews (27%) for R1, and 423 applicants with 93 interviews (22%) for R2.

The whole process is so random and all these data samples are so small that I don't think anyone of us can speculate what will happen. No need to stress about hypotheticals. They said the deadline was next Tuesday, we will all find out then. Until then, there is no way to discern where the schools is in the process. Until its an official ding the possibility still exists to get an interview. Just stay positive and accept that the process, per the adcom, is totally random (why would they lie).

Best of luck to everyone still waiting.
