We still have a significant number of interview invitations to send out - but we aren't sending any out today. Our plan is to send out some on Tuesday afternoon and more throughout the next week, up to February 16. Again, no hidden signals in the timing of when these go out. Really.

Seems like we'll have a few going out next week. Good luck all !

I submitted my app 1 hour before the deadline on 1/11 and haven't heard anything. Anyone else submit at the last minute hear anything yet? I also received the "your app is in review" email about 10 minutes before others reported receiving the email yesterday. I wonder if that means I'm already dinged, they haven't read my app yet, or nothing at all. Oh well, I guess I'll wait until 2/16!!!

Hey Rounel,

I received the same email--->

Dear ******:

Thank you for your application to Harvard Business School. Your application is now under review.

We've made some important changes to our process this year regarding interview invitations and decision notification that we want to make sure you're aware of as Round 2 progresses:

* We started sending out interview invitations on February 4 and will continue to do so until February 16. Interview invitations will arrive via email.
* On February 16, all candidates not invited to interview will receive either a decision indicating that "we are unable to offer you a place in the Class of 2013" or an invitation to join our waitlist.
* Decision notification for interviewwed candidates is on March 29.

For more information, we encourage you to visit the "From the Director" page on our website.

Thank you for your interest in Harvard Business School.

Sincerely,

MBA Admissions
Harvard Business School
Soldiers Field Road
Dillon House
Boston, MA 02163

Anyone know if this means that we have already been dinged, or if it legitimately means that they just started reviewing our apps?

Everyone received this email on Tuesday morning. Maybe there were some delays in the system and thats why you got this email late. This is a mass email. Nothing to worry about.

Any update on available interview slots in Dubai would be super helpful? Thanks!

Another Dubai applicant waiting for the invite. Seems like they haven't sent out invites to any ME applicants. Can any who has the interview request check on the Dubai slots...

would help resolve tons of anxiety!!!

One more from Dubai...though I think all attempts to fathom a logic to the interview invites are utterly futile. HBS has constantly reiterated this and we would be illadvised to ignore this piece of information. HBS has been pretty transparent with their selection process this time and I think all those who haven't got an invite yet (including me) should simply hang in there...it's not over till it's over...
