| FROM HBS Admissions Blog: The Scoop on Interviews/Next Steps |
|
For someone new to Dillon House, I’ve noticed it’s been oddly quiet around here since Round One applications came in. I don’t mean we haven’t been busy—there is actually no busier time for us—but it has been audibly quiet as we’ve all been heads down, reading your (very thoughtful) applications. The next step is interviews. We will be sending out interview invitations on the following three days: October 4, 6, and 12. Try not to read into which date you hear from us—being invited to interview on October 4 vs. October 12 does not mean you are more likely to be accepted. We spread out interview invitations to avoid congestion on the interview sign-up pages. If you haven’t heard from us on October 4 or 6, you will hear one of three things from us on October 12: 1) Invitation to Interview 2) Release or 3) Further Consideration. Let me explain. By releasing those of you who will not move forward with our process on October 12—rather than waiting until December to let you know—we hope to give you time to explore other potential options. For group 3), we would like to Further Consider your applications in Round Two. Interviews will occur between October 23 and November 18. In addition to on-campus interviews, we also conduct interviews in Shanghai, Tokyo, Dubai, Mumbai, São Paulo, New York City, Palo Alto, London, and Paris. Where you interview does NOT affect your likelihood to be accepted (all interviews globally are conducted only by members of the Admissions Board), but if you come to Boston to interview, you’ll also have the chance to sit in on a class and interact with current students and faculty. Candidates who are not able to travel may be accommodated via Skype. So, that’s the scoop on interviews! Now back to the best (and quietest) part of my day…reading your applications. |

For everyone that received interview invites, congrats!!! When it comes to your interview, just be confident (but not cocky!) and try to enjoy the experience as much as possible.
For those who received dings -- please don't get discouraged. The majority of applicants are qualified, and it ultimately comes down to fit. There are many, many amazing MBA programs out there. Best of luck with your other applications!
For those who hope to reapply to HBS in a year or two, I was once in your shoes -- rejected without interview to HBS, reapplied and am now an RC student.

Thank you for sharing your experience giapocalypse. I am kind of in the same position. Last year dinged after deferred decision without interview, this year invited to interview.
Where you asked what has changed since you first applied? Could you share some of your interview experience in general?
