Now that the 2nd wave of invites have been released, can anyone confirm if the total number of interview slots increased from the ~420 this morning? Or, if you notice that previously listed interview slots have been removed, could you share that as well?

could you also post the content of your invite so that we can see if the same hub cities are available? or if they still talk about "advance notice"?
Cheers!

I'm a round 2 Australian applicant. I didn't receive an interview yet however about 20 mins ago I received an email suggesting I apply to two HBS Australian fellowships, and should I apply the deadline is Feb 11.

At least they know I exist, right?!

Got my invitation at 12:14 today. Very exciting stuff.
There is no note of advanced notice in the letter.

Hub cities are Boston, New York, Menlo Park, Mumbai, Shanghai, London, Paris, Dubai, and Sao Paolo. I didn't know Menlo Park, CA was a major metropolitan hub

I'm tempted to schedule a last-minute vacation and go interview in Sao Paolo instead of Boston...

Does anyone know if very man international applicants (specifically those outside of hub areas) have received invites yet? I just got an email today saying my application was "now under review." I live in Africa by the way (no nearby hub cities). Still haven't received an invite and just as worried as everyone else...

For what it's worth, here's an additional data point.

Got an interview invite this morning @ 11:14AM Central.

As you can see from my profile, I was waitlisted w/o an interview in R1.

Best of luck all.
