On Friday the 11th at the admissions info session on campus the member of the admissions board said that there would be more invites coming...but again, they may not have released them yet.

Keeping the hope alive.

I think almost all the invites would be out by 15th Feb and 16th reserved for Dings. I think they will keep one day for dings as dings number is very high!

BTW this wait is killing and I am checking this forum every few minutes...if one of the oil & gas major doesn't do well this year, you know whom to blame :twisted:

I just finished m interview this morning - thought i'd share my experience with you.
I believe I had the first interview slot in London.
The questions asked:
-Tell me about why you decided to go into your industry?
- Tell me about what you do?
- How do you deal with/handle being a woman in a male-dominant industry as well as company? + follow up questions.
-How do you deal with frustration?
-Tell me about someone at your work?
-How are you at solving conflicts + follow up questions
- Are your a good manager, what is your leadership style?
-Why did you do the internship at company XYZ ( which is very unrelated to what I do now), Why did you not like that industry/company?
-I mentioned reading fiction novels in my CV so he asked about a fiction novel i've read recently. (so the book question did come up)
-Do you have a favorite place out of the countires you've lived?
-He asked about one of the volunteer projects i'm part of and how i bring skills from my work to the project. Why i got involed etc.
-Anything else that you'd like to talk about which has not been covered yet?

The guy interviewing me was very pleasant. He warned me up front he would often be looking at his computer where he had a clock, and not to feel discouraged by it. Nor worry about the notes he is or isn't making. He also mentioned that the interview is not the make or break moment. Applicants with terribel interviews can be admitted and applicants who have had an excellent interview can be rejected. He made me feel relaxed and confident. I made sure i sounded really enthusiastic and positive + remember to smile, which seemed to work. He mentioned that i seem very passionate about what I'm doing, which he thought was great as i want to stay within the industry. At the end of the interview he said i had a long waiting period until the final result and to try not to worry about it - my part of the process is now done. He also told me that if something really major happens to me/my work, then i should e-mail the admissions office letting them know, but that they only want people to do that if they really have something very significant to add (which he said rarely happens).

All in all, I feel much more confident about this interview than the previous two I've been through already. We covered a lot of ground in very short space of time. My main advice: seem enthusiastic, and give clear answers which are NOT long-winded but concise. If they want more info/details/examples they ask follow up questions. You only have 30min so use it wisely. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

I think PSD is just for minority applicants. This is from the website...

We look forward to meeting you at Harvard Business School's Prospective Students' Day (PSD)!

Jointly sponsored by HBS MBA Admissions, the African-American Student Union (AASU), the Latino Student Organization (LASO), and the Harvard University Native American Program (HUNAP), PSD is an opportunity for members of these communities to experience Harvard Business School.

They also do a PSD for military applicants, but according to the HBS students I talked to it's geared more towards people who are thinking of applying and isn't too helpful for people who have already applied. They all agreed that I would be better off saving my money and time for an on-campus interview or admit weekend.

somebody on the HBS chat posted an invite at 11.13 AM today. I will stick around for 30 more minutes. I think its game, set and match and we are on the losing side.
