The MBA Admissions Board has reviewed your application materials and we will be deferring your application for further consideration. This is an indication that we remain interested in your candidacy, but would like to continue to review your application.

If during further review of your application we decide to extend an invitation to interview, we will notify you via email. Interviews are by invitation only - please do not contact our office with a request for an interview.

Eileen Chang, Director, MBA Admissions, will be in touch soon to provide additional clarity on this process and a timeline. Please email Eileen if you do not want to remain in consideration.

We will continue to give your application full and thoughtful review as our admissions season continues. We appreciate your interest in Harvard Business School and are grateful for your patience.


It means they want to see the round 3 pool before deciding whether to move you forward. About 100 people, according to Dee's blog, were FC'd in Round 1, including me. Keep hope alive, I ended up getting an interview invite last week.

This is all SO crazy. Honestly I haven't looked because I'm trying to finish a tough day at work without becoming totally useless mid-day but this is very disappointing - how could NO one get an interview? She said "some not all" were released last week. Where are our second wave invites?

On my side, let's see what will happen tomorrow with LBS.
Good luck to everyone guys!! Wish you all the best.

To all those dinged, keep in mind that for all its apparent prestige, Harvard Business School is not the best place in the world to spend 2 years of your life. Having interacted with alums and students from numerous schools, I can definitively say that the culture and environment at HBS is not at all friendly or collegial. In fact, it is the complete opposite. If you were to compare HBS' culture to that of places like Tuck, Kellogg, Fuqua, Darden etc, the difference is night and day. The Dean at HBS this week apologized for the sexism at HBS. Some of the things that the New York Times revealed in September last year about the school were truly shocking. Female students and even female profs being bullied, secret societies of wealthy, arrogant narcissists.

Read these NYTIMES articles:
