Calling all Harvard MBA Applicants: 2023 Intake Class of 2025

Congratulations- look forward to meeting you

Congratulations to all the admits! You can thankfully take a big sigh of relief now

Also, everyone, please update your decision trackers

Decision tracker link: https://gmatclub.com/forum/harvard-184/decision-tracker.html

Tbf you have to give the decision tracker a bit of time. The last thing that someone who gets denied wants to do is to tell everyone about it...

Accepted!! I can't believe it wow

🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍 awesome!
Congratulations! which country are you based in?

Have applied for R2, just curious!

I’ve been in these shoes and please accept my sincerest regrets about anything for any school. The time invested the emotions the expectations and the prospects all going up in flames with just one email is very cruel. I know it’s a tough day in a tough hour to be asking for anything, but perhaps it is also a very relevant hour as well. Do you have any suggestions how to handle dings on the decision tracker?

I didn’t mean to put you on the spot, but we have struggled with this challenge for years and will continue to struggle with that. Any suggestions or help or pointers or even gut reactions would be super helpful and appreciated.

Congratulations!!!

LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!

Don’t worry, don’t feel put on the spot at all! Sadly I think that selection bias is always something you/we as candidates are going to struggle with. As a R2 applicant I appreciate it when people update their statuses just because it helps me gauge myself vs the crowd. I will definitely do mine either way, but I think really the only way to solve the problem would be to have a direct connection to the business school that could automatically adjust statuses, but frankly I doubt that’d ever work in reality.

The only thing i’d suggest is to just make sure that people looking at the decision trackers are aware of the selection bias - beyond that I think GMATClub can’t do much more.

Congrats everyone!! Huge accomplishment 🎈

Curious if anyone got rejected or if everyone else who didn’t get accepted got waitlisted?

Congratulations everyone who got in!!!
See you next year ✨

Hey Latasha, Congratulation on getting into HBS?

I’d like to know about your interview experience and pre-interview matching-up with alumni

I’m a Chinese candidate..and my application held by test preparation.. I’m not sure whether it’s still timely to meet the 2nd round deadline..

so upset

Is there any administrator from HBS in this chatgroup?

The Second round deadline is on January 4th, so you may still have about a month roughly to apply

* you still have roughly a month to apply

I’ve scheduled 1st try of GMAT test on 15th Dec,and language test at 3rd Jan. Of 2023,I’ve sent email to query about the issue I’ve encountered which is a common situation for all Chinese Candidates as well bcz of the Chinese pandemic policy. So far ,so bad to receive any feedback.

from admissions of HBS

Hi Spearsharp,

One of our applicants from Hongkong was in a similar scenario like yours. She was waiting for her target score and then left with only one month to apply. Despite the tight deadline, she was able to get admission to her desired school. You can read about her here . I would say don’t lose hope! If you’d like, we are happy to get on a call with you to discuss your profile and plan the road ahead. Feel free to schedule a call with us .

Cheers!
MBA and Beyond
