Note:

Applied R1.
No interview invite yet.
Roughly 10-15 days left of invites (no weekend invites).
If GSB reviews all applications with uniform speed, we’re looking at 20-30% of apps not yet reviewed — unless adcom has a stack of on-the-fence apps they save for the end.
Think anxiety is a shared experience here for the 75% of us who’ve been silently rejected and the 25% who still have hope.
Just needed a place for catharsis. Good luck everyone.

Notes:

I’m a 23-year-old currently attending Chemeketa Community College in Oregon, planning to transfer to the University of Oregon’s Lundquist College of Business to complete a degree in finance. Since a young age, I’ve been involved in managing and growing my family’s restaurant business, which currently has five locations that I intend to expand. I’m hoping to clarify if my years of experience working in the family business can be considered relevant work experience for MBA applications right after undergrad.
