Same here. I am in some sort of trance, especially after not receiving an invite from HBS yesterday. I hope Wharton makes up for it and carries me through till next wednesday.

Although, I suppose Wharton interviews more applicants since chances of admit after Wharton interview are about 48% vs 60%+ for HBS. This implies that chances of getting interview invites are higher.

No alumni interviews this year.

Here's a quote from Ankur's online statement:
"Beginning this year, Wharton will take candidate interviews 'in house,' with student Admissions Fellows and admissions committee members now conducting all candidate interviews."

12 hours left until some of us receive an invitation. Just can't manage to concentrate on anything right now. If I get the invitation by 11 November I might as well get fired for low productivity :D

I think they could set few more "hub" cities for Europe. I'm from Eastern Europe and just can't imagine going all over to London for an interview.... I have to get a visa, book a flight, hotel. All in less then 3 weeks. Plus I have to take at least 4 days off from work and that is next to impossible! That almost sounds as if I don't want to get an interview invitation LOL!

My heart skips a beat whenever I get an e-mail notification! Has anyone received an invitation? I know we are supposed to get them after 4PM Boston time. I'm just asking, maybe someone special is already invited?

So is there a specific time today that the interview invitations are supposed to be released? Someone said 12 hours from 4:30am EST, so I would assume around 4:30pm EST (I'm in NY)? Thanks in advance for any info.

In the chat they said that they are accomodating to extenuating circumstances which dont allow you to travel - but you can ask them if they are willing to make an exception for you or not - once you get the invite that is!

In the chat they said roughly afternoon eastern time - they did not give a specific time, but you can check earlier year Wharton threads to see what time it goes out

The adcom said 'late afternoon' so I'd say after 4pm.

Based on last year's thread, all the invites came in one flash between 4:00 and 4:05pm EST on the first day... I guess this means low productivity all day today ;-)
