Analysis of Admission Trends at Harvard HBS 2+2 Program

Yeah, i'm honestly regretting even applying at this point. Literally feels like no one ever gets in... Oh well.

lots of sweat and tireless work put in for this application. If I still don't get an interview, at least I know it's not because of me but because of them

No regrets! So many admissions people say that the biggest reason why people don't get in is because they self-select themselves out and don't apply in the first place.

This seems like such a silly system. All schools should have a SINGLE date on which they send out interview notifications to ALL applicants letting them know whether or not they're invited for the interview. I have no idea why this is so hard to accomplish.

Guys, are invites always distributed around noon? The time wasn't specified in the post.

That's how it worked last year at least... Most invites came between 12:05-12:18pm or so. Oddly specific but I remember sitting in front of my computer going all crazy.

Question for those who submitted a Round 1 app Does the GMAT score under the "Test Scores" section in your application proof still say "Self-Reported Score"? Other schools that I sent the score to at the same time as HBS have successfully verified the score. Do they only verify post-acceptance, and/or only for those invited to interview? Or should I be following up with GMAC? Just trying to understand how much I need to worry

To your question above - yes. I sent my score to Harvard on the day of the GMAT but it says self reported. I sent mine to Columbia too and it's verified already even though I haven't submitted the app. I'm sure it's just HBS's system. If you've sent it, you've sent it.

Absolutely! Applying is the first step, do not regret it. It is obviously hard to put your 'real self' out there and the excruciating wait to be judged and we all have concerns at this point. But as one of the HBS Class speakers said once 'you miss 100% of the shots you don't take'. I say well done you for putting yourself out there! That in itself takes courage. All the best guys.

I believe there was a discussion about this earlier on this same thread (but it might have been for a different school...) - but in short, no, don't worry. And yes, they only verify post-acceptance anyway. Good luck!
