Looks like the calls started going out last week and they may be done for this round. I hope i'm wrong.

I'm thinking they are doing this industry by industry. They may have finished some and let them know but aren't done yet. I wouldn't panic until this time tomorrow.

I got the call on Thursday, and I know of another one on Thursday and another one on Friday.

Thursday (both in consulting)
Friday (ex-consultant)

All from Mexico

Congratulations Ashgaroth! Did Eileen mention why they started call early (than mentioned on the email)? Also, just wondering, did you send in any additional rec letter / communication post WL? Thank you very much!

I asked because I was surprised as well as I was expecting something to happen but next week.

Apparently they just started early. I only sent an email regarding timing, no additional info.

It's been very quiet this week, which suggests that maybe all the waitlist acceptances happened last week. At this point I'm just hoping to remain on the waitlist and not got the noon rejection tomorrow. Best case is that I get in at some future date and lose out on a couple thousand dollar deposit elsewhere.

Good luck everyone, and congrats to those folks admitted.

Agreed. Hoping now for further waitlist and not a denial.

did that Harvard Business School Working Knowledge email at 12:44pm ET give anyone else a heart attack?

You can go into the online portal to check your status. If dinged, it will change and you should have gotten an email (a little after noon EST). Good luck to you as well.

ah I worded my question poorly, meant did the email come across recently, which would imply they are still releasing people into the afternoon. But you answered it, thanks

Past forums make it sound like they'll be adding more to the waitlist from the R2 candidates.

I wonder when we'll hear from Eileen again, maybe Friday once they finish calls? My understanding was that they tried not to carry that many forward between R1/R2 so maybe they still have some calls to make (this is based totally on my perception of # of people on the waitlist from last year's forums)
