Stanford’s Admissions Director Derrick Bolton created some transparency this week, releasing a very brief update on interview decisions.

According to Bolton:

• Approximately 400 interview invitations have been extended to first-round candidates
• 150-200 more interview invitations should be extended in the coming weeks, before the notification deadline of 22 January 2009
• On the notification date, 50-100 applicants may be invited to join the waitlist, without having the opportunity to interview, though they may have the opportunity later on
