Thanks, man!  Yes, I sort of aimed high this year and things seem to be working out so far - the initial rejections stung, but the subsequent acceptances have more than made up for them.  At least I know I'm going somewhere!  All the best to you, too  

Congrats!! Great news. Looking forward to hearing where/when you accept.

This week stung a bit for me. Rejections from the Management departments of Sloan, Kellogg, and Booth. Still waiting to hear from Yale, NYU, Columbia, Rotman, HBS, and Duke. Looks like Yale Management may have already made offers according to GradCafe. Not sure about the other programs.

I am surprised how quiet the Results section is for Management/OB. I mean, after Ross sent out rejections this weekend for M&O, only two people posted their rejections. Not a whole lot of updates on interviews either.

Sorry to hear that news Linchpin– they do sting. My first rejection I did not take well, but my second I took it on the chin. How many other applications are you waiting to learn results from?

Thank you! I am waiting to hear back from 9 others schools.  I had seen your post about applying to 13 schools. How many are you waiting to hear back from? Judging from last year, I bet we hear from a lot of our programs next week.

Just received a rejection for U-Mich Ross Management And Organizations. As I said in the results section, it's interesting that they sent out the email on a Saturday. I understand how competitive it is to get into a top OB/Management PhD program so I'm not surprised. However, rejection always stings/hurts. Congrats to those who received good news!!

Thanks for the update, OBforme. Kenan-Flagler OB interviews were last week and this week. Notifications will likely be sent out next week.

I perused the past few years of data for other management/OB programs. I'm surprised we haven't seen any interview invites for Ross or Yale SOM yet. If we're taking the last few years of data with a grain of salt, Booth, Fuqua, and Columbia's interview invites may go out late next week. Stern and Kellogg ~22 Feb. Sloan and HBS decisions were around Mar 1, but I'm not sure when they historically send out interview invites.
