If 200 applicants have deferred to 2021/22, are we assuming a lower acceptance rate next year or are we expecting a lower # of applicants due to the incoming economic crisis? Will they perhaps open more spots?
If you had watched the MBA Spotlight, you'd know that HBS is planning to increase the number of seats this year AND next year. Well, this should not affect your chances.
Also, HBS acceptance rate is pretty low either ways.
Just to note - "actively considering" is not the same thing as planning to increase, there are additional considerations that will probably take place, like strain on resources, accommodation availability etc, so don't bank on it. That said, even if they don't increase class size, if you were going to get in for sure before, that's probably the same after - the competition from increased applications in your consideration pool is likely to have a bigger effect than 100 seats already being taken.

Actually they are synonymous phrases
I didn't say "will increase"
Anyhow you can rely on HBS.
HBS has a broad alumni Base and is actually one of the very few schools that respects its alums.
THAT SAID.....
Did you notice that After Trump's completely selfish move, HBS and MIT sued Trump administration for a stupid decision that will affect the interest of their students?
They really aren't, considering implies still making a call either way, is planning to says intent in one direction.
e.g.,
1. I'm actively considering whether to apply to business school - I'm currently making a decision on which choice I'm going to make, yes I will apply, no I wont
2. I'm planning to apply to business school - I have a plan that I intend to act upon in the future, my intent is to apply.
Language is important, people should apply anyway and know these are factors they can't personally control, so no point worrying about them.

So what you're saying is that Harvard has no intent to increase the seats?
Also congrats, not many people make it into all three HSW and Booth
Only my brother did in Round 3 IN 2012 and I am seriously shocked how two brothers with a twin profile can have such a huge placement difference just because of a GMAT score.
I seriously over estimated the words of the schools, "we are holistic!!!" Yeah right, Holistic my special place lol
Same Background, same profile, just a different score.

I personally think they don't have a decision either way yet, or beyond that any idea of magnitude - see how they only accepted 20 people off the waitlist even though there were 200+ deferrals because of considerations of resource, class size and interaction. Therefore I think it's not worth thinking about either way - they may increase class size to 1,200, they may keep it the same, they may have to reduce it if social distancing measures are still in place this time next year.
Thanks, I'm one of the deferred lot
