Conflicting Reports

I have foolishly started reading the BusinessWeek MBA forums. According to some poster's research based on second-hand accounts from last year, if you have not received an interview from HBS or Stanford yet, you never will and you are a worthless human being. Others report hearsay from admissions officers that things are truly random and interviews are conducted up until the last few days before the deadline and P.S. we love you all.

Accounts from primary sources are distinctively lacking.

For the record, Stanford and HBS remain incommunicado.

The marathon continues....

The marathon continues, but after my Chicago GSB interview last Thursday, I am now 100% done with 50% of my applications.
Well, actually if I get Deny-Without-Interview from Harvard & Stanford, I might be 100% done with all of my apps! :-)

The Chicago GSB interview was surprisingly easy compared to my Kellogg one. All the questions were super-softball, and it was much more conversational. She seemed to be pitching me on Chicago just as much as she was trying to assess me.

Now I'll try to practice some patience as I wait for decisions and HBS/SBS interviews or dings.

Chicago GSB Interview

Got a Chicago GSB invite on Friday just before I got on the plane to head off to a strategy retreat in Palm Springs for my alma mater. I haven't had internet connectivity for a few days, so I'll probably schedule the interview tonight or tomorrow.

My Kellogg interview is now on Wednesday, we'll see how that goes.
