Wow .. congrats nupur! I would feel that I wrote a very successful Harvard application if I just get an interview call from them (Nevermind the admit).

So till when shall us mortals wait before resigning to a ding without interview?

lol
you do however get an option to schedule an on-campus interview if you prefer
the email says that it's telephonic for your convenience
(i'm guessing they think i'm in India or aren't sure where I'm at)

Thank you so much for the encouragement.
It means a lot!

Question: There's nothing available on-campus before March 4th and I am currently in Chicago and would be leaving the US to go back to India on Feb 28th. Do you think it's appropriate to call AdCom and ask them if it's possible to schedule something for before that?

Thanks dude!
I called them and unfortunately getting slots before march 4th on campus is not possible.
however, i was able to schedule something for chicago
i really wanted to experience the campus, class visit and all
let's see what happens now....maybe i'll still be able to do that before leaving

I wouldn't buy it because the sample questions are probably worthless. All of the questions will be tailored to your specific profile, they don't like canned questions. Re-read your essays & application multiple times, and try to think about anything that makes you unique. If you really want to practice, you could setup a mock interview with sandy from BW.


Thanks forcefeed. Great tips! Kudos!
Sorry for sounding ignorant, who's Sandy and do you know the charge for the mock interview?

Sandy is https://www.hbsguru.com and I think he charges $300 for the interview. Atleast thats what he advertises on b-week every day.
