These specific questions are always a bit strange for non-adcom people to answer. I think it’s better for you to attend some informational sessions and pose such questions to the admission team
Well I did. However, HBS never answered such Questions in any of the virtual info. sessions, all they said was they review applications "holistically" for each applicant and it depends! :)

That is true... they accept strong profiles... being different isn’t necessarily bad.. as long as you can explain the why and highlight the value u bring to the table... I know a few times they accept candidates even with a prior PhD

Yes, in fact as part of interview prep, HBS matches you with alums. My alum had a PhD prior to attending HBS.

I thought HBS will have at least two member of the Admissions Committee active but didn’t knew these could be alums?

generally, with most other schools, 2nd year MBA student interviews and decides the fate of applicant because interview carries bulk of weightage in those Admissions parameters?

yes your interview is conducted by members of the admissions committee. I am talking about interview prep.An alumni is matched with applicants who are invited to the interview.

Great. So does HBS match applicants for pre-interview prep with alumni who will, in a way, guide "strategically" to crack the ultimate HBS interview?

ha, no it’s more meant to be "Get to know HBS". you can ask about their interview experience of course.

:lol:

What is the number of days after we submit an HBS application that we receive a likely "interview" notification?

And then, from that notification date to the day of "HBS matching with alumni" as a pre-interview step to "Get to know HBS"

HBS decisions are about 12 hours away if my math is right. Here are a few handy links to be ready:


Some schools release all decisions in on swoop of an email others do calls and zoom events frequently in the past decisions have been released geographically, but not always. Harvard usually does it on one go. Let’s see if that’s the case this year.

:please: :please: :please: When you get to a decision, it would be really helpful to everyone that day and in the future if you share your decision.

If you have any trouble with the Decision Tracker, just DM to me please.

Hey BB, Can i seek an extension for GMAT Forum Quiz that expires on 19th Dec. 2022. Although active, I was unable to make the use of it citing medical reasons and that had too much professional commitments that restricted me start-off to utilize GMAT Forum quiz. Kindly oblige with an extension?

gone are the days when folks had to gather here 4 - 5 hours before the decision release and chat on everything including funny moments during essay writing, filling out application details etc :)
