Yes, Harvard last year announced it twice.

On September 18, 2018 to let you know when invite would go out.
https://www.hbs.edu/mba/admissions/Page ... d-1-update

Again on September 28, 2018 to let you know the % of invites going out and on what dates.
https://www.hbs.edu/mba/admissions/Page ... -next-week

So far radio silence this year. Perhaps they are waiting for the 28th to let us know?

Wow! That’s right. Just one shot.

Quote:

In the past, we sent out interviews in waves in order to better manage the interview sign-up process. We know that was hard to wait through multiple days. So we are doing it altogether this year, and we believe that we have a good process in place to manage the interview sign-ups all at once. But, may I ask for your patience if we need to work through any unanticipated challenges? Thank you!

Anyone knows typically how long it is between the interview release date and the actual interview dates? Would like to gauge how long I have to prepare (or if I should start now already, but feels a bit like jumping the gun)

Everyone will hear from HBS on Oct 1 at noon ET! A change from past years. Now, you will either get an interview invite, rolled to Round 2 (small group) or denied admission on just this one day (instead of multiple interview invite dates like before).

Best of luck to everyone!

Found this on the HBS adcom director's blog:

Hmm so still no news yet on the interview invite dates but we’re super close to first week of October! My anxiety levels are rising

I'd like to invite everyone to the GMAT Club HBS Chat on Tuesday Oct 1st at Noon EST.

Obviously hope to see all of the R1 applicants but also encouraging the R2 applicants to join in and see what kind of caliber/profile of applicants get invited for interview and who perhaps is not getting the invite and who is getting deferred to R2.

To join, just join the general chatroom: https://gmatclub.com/forum/mchat.php

I think I have done a decent job keeping my expectations low to a point that I am expecting a release and anything else would be a bonus!

Edit: Does anyone know if they are sending out emails or updating in the portal?

Curious. Does Harvard send an email stating if you are invited to interview or does everyone have to login to portal for decision?

I was okay up until yesterday. Now, the wait is killing me. Honestly not keeping my hopes high, but, like the other poster said, anything other than an early release would be a great bonus and a wonderful way to spend my mom’s bday.

Based on previous years’ posts, it looks like most, if not all, applicants will be notified via the admissions portal.
