Hi folks, do they send out invitations only from 8AM (or 9AM?) to 6PM (or 7PM?) ? Any feedback from previous years ?
I'm in Europe, I'd like to calculate the exact time period I should refresh my gmail every other seconds.

Good luck to all of us !

Starting today, going through Feb 16 as per Dee's blog post.

You can speculate down to the minute if you want, but that's probably not good for your mental health.

If I get an invite great; if I don't that's fine too. I'm not going to take it personally if I get dinged by both the #1 and #2 MBA programs, and I'm not going to ruin my next few weeks by stressing too much over the "will I or won't I get an interview" bit.

just got my interview!

Dear Cille,

Warm greetings from Harvard Business School!

After careful consideration of your application materials, we are delighted to inform you that you have been selected for an interview with a member of our MBA Admissions Board. We look forward to the opportunity to get to know you better through our interview process.

We use an online scheduling system to manage our interview process. Since we know that many of our interviewees expect to travel to either our campus in Boston or one of our global hub cities for their interview, we are sending this message in advance so that you are aware of where our Admissions Board members will be traveling. We hope this advance notice is helpful to you as you plan for your interview.

We will have interview slots available in the following locations:

Boston, MA (on the HBS campus)
Menlo Park, CA
New York, NY
Dubai, UAE
London, UK
Mumbai, India
Paris, France
Sao Paulo, Brazil
Shanghai, China

You will receive another email from HBS MBA Admissions at noon on Monday, February 7 with a link to our online scheduling system. You will be able to select a specific interview slot at that time. Please note that all of our interview slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. In the past, our interview slots have filled very quickly, so we encourage you to be prompt in selecting your slot.

Videoconference interviews (via Skype) may be available for applicants in remote locations.

Again, we hope this advance notice is helpful to you. Thank you for your interest in Harvard Business School, and we look forward to meeting you soon.

Just got my invite too. Congrats all. Nice not to be waiting -- I feel for everyone who still is.

What do you figure our odds are at this point if we got an invite? Hoping this bodes well for the other applications still out there (ie Stanford).
