Lepium, could you elaborate? Do you mean HBS looks more into leadership? Thanks.

I have heard that HBS is all about leadership. The person who advised me on the application and let me see his successful essays didn't do well on the GMAT but had great leadership experience as a teacher in an inner city school.

Am traveling today/tomorrow (to get my mind off the result :-D ) - and will have somebody check my result.

Good luck forcefeed and all other applicants.

You have some real discipline there, collegesenior. I'm getting pretty anxious now.

I have a feeling that gmatclub's acceptance rate will be better than the "other" forums. Good luck to all!

I'm really having good laughs with the BW forum, the guys there - at least in that thread - are stressing out with great creative histories... we should invite them to here...

Yep... Following your advice I just had a look on the HBS forum on BW... They are really funny indeed. My favorites :

I got my ding this morning by a guy in a gorilla costume and a Harvard Sweatshirt (XL) who slapped my coffee out of my hand as I walked to the office. Needless to say I was surprised, since I hadn't even applied...

Just to cheer you up ! Good luck guys !

Harvard ding. Somebody pls update my stats. I know why though. It was my first application and my worst. Anyways, the MBA process is gruesome. 5 applications n 3 dings without an interview. Brutal. Anyways, all I need is 1 n I'm close with God on my side.

Congrats guys, great news. I do find it funny about the Kellogg WL, just goes to prove that you never know where your best chances really lie.

Forcefeed, chicago is gonna be missing you I am sure.

Results so far for HBS R1
Admitted=2 Dinged=4
forcefeed: Admitted
JJGooden: Admitted
helg: Dinged
terry12: Dinged
faceman: Dinged

Forcefeed and JJ I assume that you guys are going to matriculate too...let us know so we can keep stuff updated. Forcefeed update your profile since I am sure its going to be one everyone is going to be looking for and JJ create one when you have a chance. Judging by all the new folks showing up on this site, I am better a lot of folks are going to want to see them.
