Day one notifications last year went out at 12:10 so the timing seems consistent for the initial wave, at least.

So sounds like lunchtime tomorrow for the initial wave. Do invitees get emailed directly? Also, Sandy had said about 70% of invites went out in this initial wave for R1.. do people think the same will happen this round? Do all denies go out only on the 16th?

2009 R2 = ~91% on 1st day
2010 R2 = ~95% on 1st day
2011 R2 = ??????. From the looks of it, little hope after tomorrow :(

Hello to Round Two Applicants
Date: February 09, 2009

Today we are sending emails to about 750 applicants inviting them to interview. Detailed information will be included in the email. I think there will be between 50 and 100 additional invitations sent between now and April 2. These will be sent out as files are reviewed - not on a designated day or days.

As I've said before, I know that the business school application experience is anxiety-producing. We are trying hard to minimize anxiety and stress while preserving a time-intensive selection process in which the applications you invested so much in are carefully reviewed by multiple members of the Admissions Board.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.


Round 2 Interview Update
Date: February 12, 2010

As planned, today we are sending out roughly 800 interview invitations to round 2 applicants and some round 1 waitlisters. Invitations will arrive by email from HBS MBA Admissions and will be sent out before 5:00pm EST today. We will make sure every invited candidate is contacted so don't worry about missing our email.

More interview invitations will follow, up to decision notification on April 6. How many? I don't know for sure at this point - perhaps 50 or so. The majority of invitations will indeed be sent today. We continue to review - and re-review - applications and are also making some preliminary round 2 waitlist decisions. Candidates who do not receive interview invitations in round 2 will be considered for spots on the waitlist. I expect there will be approximately 100 round 2 candidates who will be invited to join the waitlist.

kudos for gathering this.

We'll find it out tomorrow but my take on Dee's blog post from last week was that invitations would be more spread out between 2/4 and 2/16

Hello Everyone:

It’s Eileen Chang from HBS. Since it is the beginning of the month, we wanted to provide you with an update on where we are right now. I know many of you have been patiently waiting for news.

Right now we are deep in evaluating our Round 2 applicants. The first wave of interview invitations will begin going out this Friday, February 4 and will continue until February 16.

Some of you on the waitlist were not interviewed in Round 1. If you are in this group, we are currently evaluating your application along with the Round 2 applicants. You should expect one of two outcomes this month: you will either be invited to interview sometime between February 4 and February 16 along with those from Round 2, or your application will be released on February 16 in order to enable you to pursue other options.

For those of you who were already interviewed in Round 1, you should not expect any activity this month. We will revisit your application again in March as we make decisions on the Round 2 candidates. Many of you should expect a decision on your application on March 29, the decision notification date for Round 2. I will have more information for you in my update on March 1.

We do not plan to make decisions any earlier than what I have outlined above. We understand that some of you may require a different timeline; if so, and you would like to remove yourself from our waitlist, please let Dana Scalisi know at [email protected].

Thank you for your patience, and please contact us if this is not clear.

Sincerely,

Eileen Chang

It was 95% last year, but the date was also a full week later. My guess is it will be 70-75% tomorrow, 15-20% over the next week (through the 11th), and then the last 5-10% or so up until the 16th. This would be consistent with what was observed Round 1 this year, now that they've changed it up a bit. So still some hope after tomorrow.

But what do I know (nothing), just speculating :-).

Wow, I did not know that they would send bunk invites in just few days. So get an invite on Feb, 4th or keep your hope low, won't you?
