Also, Florida and UCLA Anderson have started interviewing.

I just checked. Got the reject too.

Update: Someone at http://www.urch.com/forums/phd-business/129107-management-organizational-behavior-phd-2.html posted that he got into Stanford GSB OB. There are also two updates from Stanford OB on the tgc results page. I haven't heard from them, so I guess the program's off my list.

I'm not comfortable sharing my profile in public, but if you PM me, I'll share it with you! I've been told that admissions can be extremely unpredictable. There are applicants with no research experience who get into the top programs, or vice versa, applicants with excellent profiles who are rejected. Sometimes, programs reject students not because their profiles are not strong, but because their POI is leaving, or they just decided not to take in any students that year, or there was a lack of research fit, etc...The advice given to me was to apply to as many schools as I could afford to, and not to pin my hopes up on any specific school, just because so many factors can affect admissions. Though I believe that a strong GRE/GMAT score is extremely important for making the first cut, especially at the Ivy Leagues. I, too, have a backup plan. I'll likely work for 1-2 years, gain more research experience, then try applying again.

The Haas deadline was Dec 10. But I have heard back from schools who had deadlines in January. I think the time to make decisions varies from school to school, perhaps depending on how many applications they receive. I just discovered that there's a new OB thread at another forum, though less active than this thread: http://www.urch.com/forums/phd-business/129107-management-organizational-behavior-phd.html Someone there posted that Wharton has sent out interview invites to 12 applicants. Also, I received an interview request from Penn State today!

I can confirm this. I just got my email rejection from Haas.

Thanks for sharing your list. Here's mine. I applied to many schools -- logistical nightmare!! Applied: Stanford GSB, Berkeley Haas, Northwestern Kellogg, Michigan Ross, Cornell ILR, USC Marshall, UT-Austin, UCLA Anderson, Michigan State, WashU Olin, Penn State, Florida, Purdue, London Business School and NYU (Social Psych) Interviews: Michigan, UT-Austin, London

How about Stanford and Columbia? Do you know if they interview? I applied to those schools too (i see they're on your list).

Nope they did not mention how many people. However, I talked to a current grad student last year about the admissions process and he said that what usually happens is that from a pool of 100+ applicants, they narrow it down to about 15-20 to interview and then a few who are finally accepted. In other news, I also got an interview invitation at UT-Austin and London Business School.

I just received an interview invite from Michigan's M&O program! My first piece of good news since I submitted my final application in early January. Nice to see that there are other OB/Mgmt folks around here. Cautiouslyoptimistic, hope your interview with Harvard goes/went well!
