Stanford R2 interview invites: 275 sent, 100-125 to come. Total invites this year??

STANFORD ROUND TWO Sandy, any comment on the Stanford R2 invitations status? ========================================== duh, below, from Stanford adcom blog seems to say it all. This dribble rate for invites parallels Round 1 in terms of timing. Stanford now spreads invites out all over the time window while HBS and Wharton have gotten more industrialized. HBS w. one big push followed by some dribble, and Wharton limiting itself to a defined window (now over) Apparently Derrick has not mastered the art of posting a blog, and has Ms. Winkler do it for him. I hope when it comes time to make admit phone calls, he has graduated to push-button phones (altho I should not talk, I actually do have and use one rotary dial, indestrubile old phone, not an antique, just a phohe I’ve had for a long time. ) Dee Dee of course is probably on Twitter w. shopping markdown news, “Just saw 40% mrkdwn @ Barney Shoe Bar” |
Round 2 Interview statistics
As of this morning, we have invited 275 second-round candidates to interview. We will extend an additional 100-125 interview invitations to second-round candidates in the next couple of weeks.
During that same period, we plan to interview some of the first-round candidates who accepted spots on the waitlist without having interviewed.
I hope this is helpful,
Derrick
STANFORD TOTAL INTERVIEW NUMBERS –WILL THEY HAVE TOTAL INTERVIEWS OF 800 OR 1200 THIS YEAR
BOLTON JUST POSTED THAT 275 second-round candidates HAD BEEN INTERVIEWED AND “We will extend an additional 100-125 ” MAKING FOR TOTAL NUMBER OF ROUND TWO INVITES =375-400.
THAT SEEMS SMALL TO ME. STANFORD HAS ALWAYS BEEN CAGEY ABOUT WHAT TOTAL OF INVITES THEY DO IN A YEAR, BOLTON USUALLY SAYS 800-1200, AND NEVER CONFIRMS PRIOR YEARS NUBMERS. IF HE EVER HAS, SOMEONE TELL ME. HBS ON THE OTHER HAND, WHICH IS QUICKLY BECOMING THE MORE TRANSPARENT OF THE TWO SCHOOLS IN THIS MURKY PROCESS, STATES, OFTEN, THAT TOTAL INTERVIEW INVITES ARE ~1800.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO, WE NOW GOT TO WONDER HOW MANY KIDS STAN INTERVIEWED IN ROUND ONE, WHAT WAS TOTAL NUMBER OF APPS IN ROUND ONE VS. ROUND TWO. AND BLAH, BLAH BLAH. IF ROUND ONE APPS WERE UP FROM PRIOR YEARS, AS MOST SCHOOLS ARE REPORTING, MAYBE THEY INTERVIEWED 500 KIDS IN THAT ROUND, 400 IN R2, AND ~50 IN R3 FOR GRAND TOTAL OF 950. DUNNO, BUT FEEL FREE TO SPECULATE. SOME MONKEY WRENCHES ARE THAT ROUND TWO ‘TRADITIONALLY’ GETS MORE APPS THAN ROUND ONE, ALTHO MAYBE THIS YEAR IS DIFF.
THE REASON THIS IS IMPT IS FOLKS ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO FIGURE WHAT THEIR ODDS ARE AFTER GETTING INVITE.
IF 800 INVITES FOR CLASS OF 400 ADMITS (TO WIND UP W. 360) WELLLLLLL LA DE DA, CHANCES ARE 50-50, IF 12OO INVITES FOR CLASS OF 400, WELL, SON, DO THE MATH.
