FROM HBS Admissions Blog: Round Three Application Deadline

We're coming down the home stretch now. The Round 3 application deadline is Monday, April 7 at 12:00 noon EDT. We'll be here this weekend to answer questions: We'll have phone coverage on Saturday, April 5 from 1:00 - 4:00pm EDT and again on Sunday, April 6 from 3:00 - 6:00pm EDT. Technical questions about the application can be directed to slatesupport@hbs.edu. Our next post here will give details about the Round 3 interview schedule. One more thing - lots of Am I eligible for the 2+2 Program? questions coming in. Here's the scoop: To be considered for admission to the 2+2 Program class entering in Fall 2016, your graduation date from your bachelor’s or master’s program must be between October 1, 2013 and September 30, 2014. The 2+2 application is meant for current students who have not been out in the professional world yet (not including summer internships or work associated with degree programs, e.g. co-ops). Additionally, if you are in a professional degree program (JD, PhD, or MD) you may apply to HBS via our regular admissions application, but not via the 2+2 application. As always, there is more information on our 2+2 website. Hope your weekend is good...and that you feel great when you hit the submit button.

I decided to throw in an application for Round 3. Submitted today. Good luck to anyone else in the running and/or waiting.

Good luck, Ward! Hoping for the best for you!

As did I - not expecting too much here but worth the shot - after all, they are probably going to take at least someone from round 3

Winner will be notified via email on April 16th!

I applied in round 3. But I'm still waiting on one of my recommenders to get a letter in. Unfortunately, my recommender is a very busy person and has told me that he will get it in to HBS by April 11th.

Will HBS still honor my application? Or am I outta luck?

Thanks

I'd suggest reaching out to the admissions office directly. They are normally okay with recs being a day or two late. I'm not sure about as many days late as you'll be. In general, it's best to chat with them directly.

When do you think we will start hearing back about interviews?

@baseishome - based on last year's timeline, I'd say we are going to find out April 21st @ Noon.

@hbsfitness45 Thanks I really appreciate it!

FROM HBS Admissions Blog: Round 3 Interviews and Beyond

Here's the plan: On Thursday, April 17, hopefully at 12:00 noon Boston time, we will send out both interview invitations and release notifications. Thus, all Round 3 candidates will be hearing something from us on Thursday. Interviewees will receive detailed instructions via email. Interviews will be conducted here on campus on April 28 and May 2. Skype interviews will be available for international candidates and college students with academic conflicts. Round 3 decisions (to all interviewed candidates) will go out on May 14. Noon. You know the drill. The application for the Class of 2017 will go live in mid-June. We'll post the essay and recommender questions before that - most likely in early June. Onward. Hope this is helpful.

@baseishome - looks like I was wrong and that it's MUCH sooner. Thursday @ Noon. Wow. Here we go.

applied in R3? Can you share your profile? Just wondering about your guts to apply in R3, even with such a gmat score!
