For the highest ranked OB programs listed on the results page, does anyone have a sense of how many students are invited for interviews vs accepted each year?

I think every program is slightly different. From what some of my faculty mentors have told me, I think approximately ~30-50% of candidates interviewed will be admitted.

Hey guys, anybody hear back from UNC, Wharton, INSEAD, MIT, or Northwestern? Applying for Management/Strategy 

I heard back from Northwestern last week for prelim/informal interviews

I applied to 10 programs and have heard back about 4 interviews + 1 acceptance. One of my faculty mentors told me interviews at HBS, Wharton, and other top programs are basically a formality, but I find this hard to believe!

Amazing, congrats on such strong activity!

Alrighty y'allllll... I applied to 15 programs total and have heard back from 3. How are you all doing???

I applied to 21 schools - interviews at 7 and acceptance from 1. I don't think all schools have interviews so perhaps we will only have final results from those schools!

Updates from my week:

Yale SOM Marketing: Asked for an article review last week, I sent that off and was told profs will review over this coming weekend.

Columbia Marketing: Received interview invite this afternoon (scheduled for next week)!  They also want me to look over a prof's current manuscript, for discussion during interview.

NYU Stern Marketing: Received interview invite yesterday afternoon (scheduled for next week).

Penn / Wharton OID (Decision sciences track): Interviewed in early Jan, received emailed Monday that I would not be advancing in their process.  Super nice rejection email, tho!

Any news on Harvard (micro OB), Stanford (micro OB), or U-Chicago Booth (decision sciences)?  I'm guessing no from Harvard based on a couple interview notifications in the results page, and looks like we're still waiting on GSB/Booth (seems like people last cycle didn't hear until Feb).

Congrats! Did you apply to CB marketing at NYU?

Congratulations on your interviews and best of luck this application cycle! I'll also share an update for others tracking program notifications. I applied to OB (micro) programs with the exception of Wharton:

Accepted to a program listed on the acceptance page last week. 

Kellogg: Interviewed this week. Will likely hear back next week.

Stern: Received interview invite this week.

Wharton OID: Interviewed in early January. Will likely hear back by mid-February.

HBS: First interview in early January. Second interview with faculty this week.

I'm waiting to hear from Yale SOM, Fuqua, Stanford GSB and CBS. I think you're right that these interview notifications should all be in by early February.
